Solitude Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Solitude

1.
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

2.
I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone, I never found the companionable as solitude.
Thoreau, Henry David

3.
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.

4.
Two Paradises t'were in one, to live in Paradise alone.
Marvell, Andrew

5.
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

6.
History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.
Carlyle, Thomas

7.
To have a quiet mind is to possess one's mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one's self.
Mabie, Hamilton

8.
We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain.
Dahlberg, Edward

9.
In solitude, where we are least alone.
Byron, Lord

10.
One can acquire everything in solitude except character.
Stendhal, Henri B.

11.
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

12.
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

13.
We are all prone to the malady of the introvert who, with the manifold spectacle of the world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within. But let us not imagine there is anything grand about the introvert's unhappiness.
Russell, Bertrand

14.
The good and the wise lead quiet lives.
Euripides

15.
The right to be alone -- the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.
Brandeis, Louis D.

16.
We never touch but at points.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
Solitude: a sweet absence of looks.
Kundera, Milan

18.
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
Thoreau, Henry David

19.
In solitude, be a multitude to thyself. Tibullus by all means use sometimes to be alone.
Herbert, George

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

21.
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

22.
Solitude begets whimsies.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

23.
I have never found a companion so companionable as solitude.
Thoreau, Henry David

24.
Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
Einstein, Albert

25.
Solitude cherishes great virtues and destroys little ones.
Smith, Sydney

26.
In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.
Sterne, Laurence

27.
Life without a friend is death without a witness.
Proverb, Spanish

28.
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Camus, Albert

29.
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Huxley, Aldous

30.
A man by himself is in bad company.
Hoffer, Eric

31.
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

32.
In the world a man lives in his own age; in solitude in all ages.
Mathews, William

33.
Solitude is as needed to the imagination as society is wholesome to the character.
Lowell, James Russell

34.
May God be gracious to each lonely one who walks in silence towards the setting sun.

35.
In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?
Gaulle, Charles De

36.
Violent passions are formed in solitude. In the busy world no object has time to make a deep impression.
Home, Henry

37.
Well has he lived who has lived well in obscurity.
Ovid

38.
Solitude is un-American.
Jong, Erica

39.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
Renard, Jules

40.
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

41.
There is convincing evidence that the search for solitude is not a luxury but a biological need. Just as humans posses a herding instinct that keeps us close to others most of the time, we also have a conflicting drive to seek out solitude. If the distance between ourselves and others becomes too great, we experience isolation and alienation, yet if the proximity to others becomes too close, we feel smothered and trapped.
Kottler, Jeffrey

42.
I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.
Dunaway, Faye

43.
One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict -- girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.
Percival, Lord

44.
An artist is always alone -- if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Miller, Henry

45.
Solitude is the despair of fools, the torment of the wicked, and the joy of the good.

46.
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
Einstein, Albert

47.
The best thinking has been done in solitude.
Edison, Thomas A.

48.
Oh to have a lodge in some vast wilderness. Where rumors of oppression and deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.
Cowper, William

49.
The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
Bonhoeffer, Dietrich

50.
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude.
Wordsworth, William
