Best Quotes about Solitude

1.
Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad.
Johnson, Samuel

2.
Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
Solitude: a sweet absence of looks.
Kundera, Milan

4.
The best thinking has been done in solitude.
Edison, Thomas A.

5.
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
Hoffer, Eric

6.
In solitude, where we are least alone.
Byron, Lord

7.
The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One's stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

8.
Violent passions are formed in solitude. In the busy world no object has time to make a deep impression.
Home, Henry

9.
Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.
Quincey, Thomas De

10.
Two Paradises t'were in one, to live in Paradise alone.
Marvell, Andrew

Carlyle, Thomas

Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
Einstein, Albert

13.
One can acquire everything in solitude except character.
Stendhal, Henri B.

14.
A writer who writes, I am alone... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.
Blanchot, Maurice

15.
In the world a man lives in his own age; in solitude in all ages.
Mathews, William

16.
We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain.
Dahlberg, Edward

17.
A solitude is the audience-chamber of God.
Landor, Walter Savage

18.
Solitude is the despair of fools, the torment of the wicked, and the joy of the good.

19.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
Renard, Jules

20.
The worst vice of the solitary is the worship of his food.
Connolly, Cyril

21.
Well has he lived who has lived well in obscurity.
Ovid

22.
Solitude is as needed to the imagination as society is wholesome to the character.
Lowell, James Russell

23.
Solitude can be used well by very few people. They who do must have a knowledge of the world to see the foolishness of it, and enough virtue to despise all the vanity.
Cowley, Abraham

24.
A man by himself is in bad company.
Hoffer, Eric

25.
Go away, I'm all right!
Wells, H.G.

26.
I have never found a companion so companionable as solitude.
Thoreau, Henry David

27.
Solitude cherishes great virtues and destroys little ones.
Smith, Sydney

28.
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Browne, Jackson

29.
The good and the wise lead quiet lives.
Euripides

30.
The higher we rise, the more isolated we become; all elevations are cold.
Boufflers

31.
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Huxley, Aldous

32.
We never touch but at points.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
Thoreau, Henry David

35.
Solitude is un-American.
Jong, Erica

36.
May God be gracious to each lonely one who walks in silence towards the setting sun.

37.
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous- to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
Mann, Thomas

38.
Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and Lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio, or looked at a TV They had loneliness and knew what to do with it. They were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the creative mood in them would mark.
Sa, Carl

39.
By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear. Dare to look in thy chest; for 'Tis thine own: And tumble up and down what thou findst there. Who cannot rest till he good fellows find, he breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
Herbert, George

40.
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Camus, Albert

41.
In solitude we are in the presence of mere matter (even the sky, the stars, the moon, trees in blossom), things of less value (perhaps) than a human spirit. Its value lies in the greater possibility of attention.
Weil, Simone

42.
You have already failed if you need a lot of inspectors.

Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.
Cioran, E. M.

46.
The right to be alone -- the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.
Brandeis, Louis D.

47.
In solitude, be a multitude to thyself. Tibullus by all means use sometimes to be alone.
Herbert, George

48.
I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.
Dunaway, Faye
