Loneliness

What good would it be to possess the whole universe if one were its only survivor?

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides

He travels the fastest who travels alone

To be exempt from the passions with which others are tormented, is the only pleasing solitude

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures

If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry.

If you have it (love), you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

The right to be alone, the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration

Who hears music, feels his solitude peopled at once

All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone

At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone
