Swami Vivekananda | Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. | 29 |

B. R. Ambedkar | Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self. | 101 |
Barry McGuire | Marches alone won't bring integration when human respect is disintegratin' | 101 |

Douglas Coupland | The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. | 101 |
Drew Barrymore | There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself.

Ellen G. White | True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding. | 101 |
Florence King | He travels fastest who travels alone, and that goes double for she. Real feminism is spinsterhood. | 101 |

Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal. | 101 |
Lisa Marie Presley | If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that. That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground. | 101 |

Phil Anselmo | In my better sense of mind, I know that I'm far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me. | 101 |
Steve-O | The first thought that I had about really trying to get sober was, 'Man, I could do a lot of good in the world. I can lead by example and just be this heroic recovery guy.' And that's just a bad reason to get sober. You can't get sober for anybody's benefit, let alone the world at large. You really got to do it for yourself. | 101 |

David Walliams | I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed, when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to. | 101 |
George B. McClellan | The Union, which can alone insure internal peace, and external security to each State, Must and Shall be Preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood. | 101 |

Mahesh Babu | When my film flops, I believe it is my mistake. There have been times when I didn't come out of my house because my films didn't do well. I lock myself in for months.

May Sarton | Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. | 101 |

Lyman Beecher | Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death. | 101 |
Mallory Ortberg | I think female solitude is a mental condition as well as a physical state. You can be married and a spinster. I think spinster is an identity every woman can claim, if she will... I feel like a lot of women, or a lot of feminists, joke about taking to the sea or living alone in a cottage as this kind of fun freedom. | 101 |

Peabo Bryson | Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever. | 101 |
Sergei Bubka | I am alone, some people help me, but, basically, I can do what I want. | 101 |
William Alexander | Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring. | 101 |
William Shirley | Words alone cannot fully convey the realities of the soul or the greatness of the human spirit. | 101 |

Daniel Keyes | I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damn thing. It only leads to violence and pain. | 101 |

Dennis Brown | No man is an island. No man stands alone. | 101 |

S. C. Gwynne | What I am afraid of is the first thing I was ever aware of being afraid of and what I have told my daughter countless times she need not fear: being alone in the dark.

Tatjana Patitz | Sometimes I get lonely, but it's nice to be alone. | 101 |
Clifford D. Simak | What do you mean by faith? Is faith enough for Man? Should he be satisfied with faith alone? Is there no way of finding out the truth? Is the attitude of faith, of believing in something for which there can be no more than philosophic proof, the true mark of a Christian? | 101 |
Janet Napolitano | Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access, transportation, telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce, the development of capital and the regulatory market. | 101 |

George Formby | Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand. | 101 |
Jon Tester | Montanans believe in the right to make a good life for their families. How they define a family should be their business and their business alone. I'm proud to support marriage equality because no one should be able to tell a Montanan or any American who they can love and who they can marry. | 101 |
Jonathan Ames | For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me. | 101 |
Madeleine Peyroux | No matter where we come from or where we're going, we've all got memories to contend with, and it's always best not to do this alone! | 101 |

I have this hot and heavy scene with a very beautiful actress. It became very popular. | 101 |
Richard Lovelace | If I have freedom in my love, And in my soul am free, - Angels alone that soar above, Enjoy such liberty. | 101 |
Jean Pigozzi | I don't like dirty. That's why I hate cigarettes. A little bit of alcohol is O.K., but no drugs. And I like to sleep alone because I wake up, I walk around, I bring my computer with me to bed, I have a great time. | 101 |
Alice Koller | Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement. | 101 |
Jean-Marc Vallee | When I do a mix tape for my kids, for my friends, for my lover, I meticulously choose the tracks, and it's beautiful. And when they are alone they think of me - and when I am alone I think of them. | 101 |

Jim C. Hines | A zombie amusement park sounds like fun, but the health code violations alone are enough to turn your stomach. | 101 |

Lord Byron | I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone. | 102 |
Saint Teresa of Avila | Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything. | 102 |
Thomas Merton | Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. | 102 |

George Armstrong Custer | You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end. | 102 |
Herman Hesse | As a body everyone is single, as a soul never. | 102 |
Jennifer Lopez | I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. We're loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life. | 102 |
John Updike | Writers may be disreputable, incorrigible, early to decay or late to bloom but they dare to go it alone. | 102 |

Nancy Kerrigan | But it seems that the judging maybe they shouldn't at least see the practices all week long. That can taint the way they go into the judging and the outlook of what's going to happen, instead of just watching those four minutes and judging on those minutes alone. | 102 |
Naveen Jain | Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling. | 102 |
Octavia Butler | When I was 7 and went to the zoo with my second-grade class, I saw chimpanzee eyes for the first time - the eyes of an unhappy animal, all alone, locked in a bare, concrete-floored, iron-barred cage in one of the nastier, old-fashioned zoos. I remember looking at the chimp, then looking away. | 102 |

William Albert Allard | Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone. | 102 |

Yousuf Karsh | I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create. | 102 |
Andre Maurois | Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold. | 102 |
Annie Dillard | Just think: in all the clean, beautiful reaches of the solar system, our planet alone is a blot; our planet alone has death. | 102 |

Christina Ricci | I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone. | 102 |

Ernie Pyle | If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will leave you alone. | 102 |
Fefe Dobson | The things that drive me are poverty, and pain, and knowing that I don't want to end up being alone and I want to do something with my life and I want the name Dobson to remain in everyone's heads. Basically, just to rock and be the best performer I can be, and be true, and be real, and give people the real Fefe, nothing fake, all real. | 102 |
Fernando Torres | It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone. | 102 |
Gabriel Byrne | It was either Voltaire or Charlie Sheen who said, 'We are born alone. We live alone. We die alone. And anything in between that can give us the illusion that we're not, we cling to.' | 102 |

Richard Jefferies | An inspiration - a long, deep breath of the pure air of thought - could alone give health to the heart. | 102 |
Rosabeth Moss Kanter | Organizational structures that allow divisions and departments to own their turf and people with long tenure to take root creates the same hardened group distinctions as Congressional redistricting to produce homogeneous voting blocs - all of which makes it easier to resist compromise, let alone collaboration. | 102 |
Shawn Amos | Schizoaffective disorder is a big mental mash-up of a disease. It combines just about every disorder, from depression, delusions, and paranoia to mania, schizophrenia and hallucinations. My mother bounced between all of these regularly while raising me alone in our Hollywood home. | 102 |
Adam DeVine | Hot girls have so many options. Sitting at home alone any night of the week and searching the Internet for a dude is on zero hot girls' agendas. So they're definitely not coming after you. | 102 |
Alex Steffen | There are a lot of different ways of building a prosperous society, and some of them use much less energy than others. And it is possible and more practical to talk about rebuilding systems to use much less energy than it is to think about trying to meet greater demands of energy through clean energy alone. | 102 |
Chesty Puller | In the Confederate Army, an officer was judged by stark courage alone, and this made it possible for the Confederacy to live four years. | 102 |
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani | I really don't want you to think of Qatar as a hydrocarbon country alone. We know that hydrocarbons will come and go. But education will stay. It is the most important thing for us. | 102 |
Jill Soloway | When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known. | 102 |
Kenko Yoshida | To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a pleasure beyond compare. | 102 |
Kina Grannis | I've loved singing since forever. Whether it was with my sisters while cleaning the kitchen, putting shows on for my stuffed animals, writing songs about my stuffed animals, starting an a capella group with my cousins while on vacation, or awkwardly singing along to karaoke tracks alone in my bedroom - singing always found a way into my life. | 102 |
Pierre Loti | I recall feeling an almost delicious terror when one day I found myself alone in the midst of tall June grasses that grew high as my head. But here the secret working of self consciousness is almost too entangled with the things of the past for me to explain it. | 102 |
Rahul Dravid | No dream is ever chased alone. | 102 |
Rajneesh | All of the religions are looking after the poor. At least leave me alone to look after the rich. I am the rich man's guru. | 102 |
Sextus Propertius | Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone? | 102 |
A. R. Ammons | Is it not careless to become too local when there are four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone. | 102 |
Arnold Rothstein | Don't go away. I don't want to be alone. I can't stand being alone. | 102 |
Ashley Judd | When I was working on Eye of the Beholder, I played a character who is so aloof that my whole lifestyle became very aloof. If someone knocked on my door, there was a part of me that went into a rage, because I wanted to be isolated and alone. | 102 |
Bob Weir | I'm looking forward to some more solo acoustic dates. That's a lot of fun for me, because I get to be alone with the song. And I get to hear every little nuance; if my instrument does something that I wasn't expecting, I get to chase that. Chase that down a little bit. | 102 |
Chris Abani | Sometimes I feel very alone. I am a bit of a nomad. Many people in sort of emerging countries, emerging economies, find themselves displaced. So there is that sense, and so I'm part of a whole, I think, group of displaced people. | 102 |
E. Y. Harburg | Leave the atom alone. | 102 |
Edmund Barton | The difference between the denominational system and the public school system is all the difference between bolstering them up on the one hand and letting them alone of the other. | 102 |
Emanuel Steward | My favorite hobby is being alone. I like to be alone. I also like dancing, fishing, playing poker sometimes and vegetable gardening - corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, I have a big garden every year. | 102 |
Ernest Lawrence | No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid. | 102 |
George Mikes | An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one. | 102 |
James Lafferty | The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold. | 102 |
James Whistler | Work alone will efface the footsteps of work. | 102 |
Markus Zusak | I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes. | 102 |
Mary Douglas | I am convinced that living in an enclave shapes the personality, and living alone shapes the personality too. | 102 |
Melissa Rosenberg | With 'Twilight,' you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With 'Penoza,' we had an eight episode Dutch series that, just for the pilot alone, I condensed three episodes. So, there's a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes. | 102 |
Russell Hoban | Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it. Women know where it lives but they can let it alone. | 102 |
Thomas Francis Meagher | A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation. | 102 |
Aditi Shankardass | To diagnose and treat a brain disorder accurately, it would be necessary to look at the brain directly. Looking at behavior alone can miss a vital piece of the puzzle and provide an incomplete, or even a misleading, picture of the child's problems. | 102 |
Alphonsus Liguori | Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends. | 102 |
Edie Adams | You aren't going to leave me alone are you? | 102 |
Giuseppe Verdi | I adore art... when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear. | 102 |
Larry Wilcox | Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me. | 102 |
Peter Fenn | In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority. | 102 |
Sondre Lerche | I don't particularly enjoy standing alone and recording my own voice or my own stuff. It's sometimes fun to do for demos and stuff, but I really enjoy the social act of recording records, because writing it is so lonely. And it has to be. | 102 |
Stuart Appleby | Getting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to. | 102 |
Susan Powter | Very few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone. | 102 |
Thomas Kuhn | Crisis alone is not enough. There must also be a basis, though it need be neither rational nor ultimately correct, for faith in the particular candidate chosen. | 102 |
John Lone | I really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me. | 102 |
Mark Rylance | There have been more books alone written about Hamlet than have been written about the Bible. | 102 |
Monica Keena | I look really young. I always get carded at bars. No one believes that I'm over 18, let alone over 21. | 102 |
Subcomandante Marcos | The word of the oldest of the old of our peoples didn't stop. It spoke the truth, saying that our feet couldn't walk alone, that our history of pain and shame was repeated and multiplied in the flesh and blood of the brothers and sisters of other lands and skies. | 102 |
Theodore Gericault | With the brush we merely tint, while the imagination alone produces colour. | 102 |
Alicia Coppola | My father died of brain cancer in 1991. I do not know anyone whose life has not been touched by the loss of a loved one to cancer. I wrote my book 'Gracefully Gone' about my father's fight and my struggle growing up with an ill parent. I wrote it to help others know they are not alone in this all-too-often insurmountable war against cancer. | 102 |
Cindy Williams | I remember being alone a lot as a child, and I still love to be alone. | 102 |
Jason David Frank | I try to motivate people and inspire them, to let them know that they're not alone. | 102 |
Maxine Kumin | The thing that's depressing is teaching graduate students today and discovering that they don't know simple elemental facts of grammar. They really do not know how to scan a line; they've never been taught to scan a line. Many of them don't know the difference between 'lie' and 'lay,' let alone 'its' and 'it's.' And they're in graduate school! | 102 |
Ricardo Antonio Chavira | I have experienced firsthand the tremendous impact breast cancer has on the women who fight it and the loved ones who support them. This is a disease that catches you unaware and, without the right resources, leaves you feeling frightened and alone. | 102 |
Justine Bateman | I like to go dancing, have a few beers. I like being alone, too. I have days where it's 'God, get me a shot of tequila.' | 102 |
Molly Tarlov | Understand that everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether you can see it or not. Just surround yourself with the people who love you, and know you're not really alone. | 102 |
Anthony de Mello | It is a great mystery that though the human heart longs for Truth, in which alone it finds liberation and delight, the first reaction of human beings to Truth is one of hostility and fear! | 102 |
Jacques Chirac | One can go to war alone, but you can't build peace alone. | 102 |
Justin Long | If you can measure success in this business based on happiness alone I feel like I've hit the lottery. | 102 |
Judith Krantz | On the one hand, shopping is dependable: You can do it alone, if you lose your heart to something that is wrong for you, you can return it; it's instant gratification and yet something you buy may well last for years. | 102 |
Robin Williams | I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. | 103 |
Brie Larson | I wasn't perfect and didn't have it together. I felt alone. So through acting, I decided to be a shape shifter and with every role become the character instead of being myself. It meant about 10 years of no one knowing I was the same person in every movie. | 103 |
Chiang Kai-shek | Democracy is liberty - a liberty which does not infringe on the liberty nor encroach on the rights of others; a liberty which maintains strict discipline, and makes law its guarantee and the basis of its exercise. This alone is true liberty; this alone can produce true democracy. | 103 |
Chief Seattle | When the last red man shall have perished from the earth and his memory among the white men shall have become a myth, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe. The white man will never be alone. Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. | 103 |
David Foster Wallace | This is nourishing, redemptive; we become less alone inside. | 103 |
Elizabeth Edwards | You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life, build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life. | 103 |
Fiona Apple | When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone. | 103 |
Georg C. Lichtenberg | We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing. | 103 |
George Linnaeus Banks | I live to hail that season by gifted one foretold, when men shall live by reason, and not alone by gold. | 103 |
George Muller | Through faith in the Lord Jesus alone can we obtain forgiveness of our sins, and be at peace with God; but, believing in Jesus, we become, through this very faith, the children of God; have God as our Father, and may come to Him for all the temporal and spiritual blessings which we need. | 103 |
Gia Coppola | Now that I'm older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone. | 103 |
Ginni Rometty | Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age - it is really broad. | 103 |
Gloria Allred | I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do. | 103 |
Henry Cavill | My version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone. | 103 |
Isabella Bird | The situation of Leh is a grand one, the great Kailas range, with its glaciers and snowfields, rising just behind it to the north, its passes alone reaching an altitude of nearly 18,000 feet; while to the south, across a gravelly descent and the Indus Valley, rise great red ranges dominated by snow-peaks exceeding 21,000 feet in altitude. | 103 |
K. D. Lang | You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself. | 103 |
Karl Jaspers | The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought. | 103 |
Keanu Reeves | When the people you love are gone, you're alone. | 103 |
Krista Tippett | Intelligence alone does not get us where we need to go or even necessarily where we want to go. For that, the human creature must exercise harder-won capacities of wisdom, and wise action. | 103 |
Louis L'Amour | No memory is ever alone; it's at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own associations. | 103 |
Natalie Imbruglia | I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world. | 103 |
Navjot Singh Sidhu | You can't play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it. | 103 |
Neil Diamond | I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very high maintenance. | 103 |
Nora Ephron | The desire to get married, which - I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again. | 103 |
Olivier Martinez | And what's more I've got no need for anyone to tell me how to do it. I am not interested. You act how you want to and leave me alone to do my own thing. | 103 |
Patrick Henry | We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power... the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. | 103 |
Richard Avedon | I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone. | 103 |
Saint Ambrose | Many a sin has sullied me in body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy protection. | 103 |
St. Jerome | Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night. | 103 |
Vic Fuentes | When I'm writing, I separate from everyone. Even my band. I push myself, and I'm alone with my thoughts. Separating from friends and comforts and family lets you think a lot deeper about subject matter. Working alone drives me a little crazy, but it makes the writing as honest as possible. | 103 |
Virgil Thomson | Let your mind alone, and see what happens. | 103 |
Walter Kirn | A sociopath doesn't warm up their environment, doesn't make it cozy. They don't have to; when they're not performing, when they're not manipulating, when they're all alone, there's nothing. | 103 |
William Law | This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God. | 103 |
Archibald MacLeish | Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there. | 103 |
Ashwin Sanghi | Writing is a intensely personal activity. I can pen down my best thoughts when I'm alone. But when one is elevated into the stature of an author, you have to think about your books in terms of their business angle. | 103 |
Charlotte Whitton | Man cannot live by incompetence alone. | 103 |
Donella Meadows | Biodiversity can't be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone. | 103 |
Dorothy Hamill | I was passionate. I found something that I loved. I could be all alone in a big old skating rink and nobody could get near me and I didn't have to talk to anybody because of my shyness. It was great. I was in my fantasy world. | 103 |
Eva Gabor | I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting. | 103 |
Federica Montseny | The struggle is so great that the triumph over fascism alone is worth the sacrifice of our lives. | 103 |
Florida Scott-Maxwell | My kitchen linoleum is so black and shiny that I waltz while I wait for the kettle to boil. This pleasure is for the old who live alone. | 103 |
Glenn Turner | There is one major problem with anti-virus software: It needs updating. Users cannot be relied upon to have even the anti-virus software in the first place, let alone be able or willing to pay for the updates. | 103 |
Hugo Weaving | We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely. | 103 |
Jeff Miller | In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another. | 103 |
Jerry Saltz | There's one Baldessari work I genuinely love and would like to own, maybe because of my Midwestern roots and love of driving alone. 'The backs of all the trucks passed while driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, California, Sunday, 20 January 1963' consists of a grid of 32 small color photographs depicting just what the title says. | 103 |
Jessamyn West | Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking. | 103 |
John Berger | Autobiography begins with a sense of being alone. It is an orphan form. | 103 |
Karin Slaughter | I'm extremely introverted. I used to think it was shyness, but I got over that, so it must be door No. 2. It's still hard for me to be away from home much, and I have to make sure I get lots of time alone in my room when I'm touring. | 103 |
Kristen Schaal | I think growing up on a farm in a certain amount of isolation, with not a lot of friends nearby, makes you entertain yourself and kind of grows your imagination - being alone is quite good for all that. You make up stories, talk to the animals, let them be an audience, a bunch of cows. | 103 |
Philip Guston | Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe. | 103 |
Terry Goodkind | Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it. | 103 |
Allison Williams | One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I'll do it alone in my apartment. You can't have a bad day after that. | 103 |
Brian Jacques | I still pinch meself when I wake up of a morning. Who ever thought I'd be a children's author - let alone a best-selling children's author? | 103 |
Charles Stewart Parnell | You must show him, by leaving him severely alone. | 103 |
Dave Franco | For example, for me, my brother helped me get a manager, which I don't take for granted. It's tough getting a manager, let alone one that actually cares about you and is smart. But from there, no one's going to cast me just because I'm James Franco's little brother. | 103 |
Kiri Te Kanawa | When I'm alone at home, I really prefer to listen to Wagner's orchestral music rather than any vocal music. I find it illuminating not to have to pay attention to voices in the recordings. | 103 |
Lauren London | Is being single hard? It depends where your mind is. If you are focused, being single is an enjoyable experience, but if you hate being alone, you'll hate being single. I think it depends on the individual are where they are in life. | 103 |
Ma Jian | I am trying to persuade my family to spend more time in China. It's no fun to be in exile. I can't even figure out the basic 26 letters, let alone operate, in English. I often feel that although I've found the sky of freedom above my head, I've lost the soil I stand on. I need to be back in my motherland, where I can find inspirations. | 103 |
Margaret Sanger | Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone. | 103 |
Mark Skousen | One suggestion my wife and I have used in our personal finance courses we teach at college is simply writing down all expenditures and seeing where the money goes. That alone will cause heads of households to think twice about x, y or z expenditure, and to consider carefully whether they really need something or not. | 103 |
Petra Stunt | So in some ways my life, my background has been isolating and I think I'm a bit more scared as a person. I don't walk alone or in the dark. If I go out the driver will wait for me to go into the house. | 103 |
Stephen Chbosky | If you are in a movie theater, you can look two people down and they are laughing while you are laughing or you can look three people down and they love that song that you love. It is living proof that you are not alone. | 103 |
Susan Wojcicki | I have tried to be a leader. I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google, let alone the first woman to have a baby, to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons. | 103 |
Anna Pavlova | No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius. | 103 |
Ernest Lawrence | The day when the scientist, no matter how devoted, may make significant progress alone and without material help is past. This fact is most self-evident in our work. | 103 |
Gary Becker | Still, intuitive assumptions about behavior is only the starting point of systematic analysis, for alone they do not yield many interesting implications. | 103 |
George Edward Moore | The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough. | 103 |
Goran Persson | Remember, the burden of sorrow is doubled when it is borne alone. | 103 |
Thomas Love Peacock | Not drunk is he who from the floor - Can rise alone and still drink more; But drunk is They, who prostrate lies, Without the power to drink or rise. | 103 |
Tom Cochrane | As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job. | 103 |
Anna Letitia Barbauld | We neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone? | 103 |
Charles Studd | David - the man after God's own heart - was a man of war and a mighty man of valour. When all Israel were on the run, David faced Goliath - alone... with God - and he but a stripling, and well scolded, too, by his brother for having come to see the battle. | 103 |
Dido Armstrong | I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved. | 103 |
Jason Schwartzman | I like being alone and I think this movie, as much as it is an investigation of connection and people bonding, I also think it's just as much about loneliness. | 103 |
Johann Kaspar Lavater | Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers. | 103 |
Amy Lowell | I am tired, beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little ink drops, and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon. | 103 |
Arthur L. Herman | Millions of Americans cannot tell you who lived at Mount Vernon or who wrote the Declaration of Independence - let alone the Emancipation Proclamation. But they know that to be 'a Benedict Arnold' is to be a traitor of the deepest dye - someone who coldly betrays not only a sacred cause but every moral scruple along the way. | 103 |
Jackson Browne | No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone. | 103 |
James Douglas | It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought. | 103 |
Jeffery Deaver | When you work alone, you need to socialize at some level. | 103 |
Joseph Roux | Solitude vivifies; isolation kills. | 103 |
Rachel Lambert Mellon | I was sitting alone in a grim mood - furious that the press attacked Senator Edwards on the price of a haircut. But it inspired me - from now on, all haircuts, etc., that are necessary and important for his campaign - please send the bills to me... It is a way to help our friend without government restrictions. | 103 |
Shonda Rhimes | I actually like being alone. I spend most evenings reading and taking long baths. | 103 |
Jim Bakker | You can't fake it when you're alone with God, you know. | 103 |
Jean Craighead George | Most of these wild animals depart in autumn when the sun changes their behavior and they feel the urge to migrate or go off alone. While they are with us, however, they become characters in my books, articles, and stories. | 103 |
Jennifer Lynch | Pressure is an emotional paralysis. It's hard enough to do the dishes when you're feeling pressured, let alone make a movie. | 103 |
Jonathan Frid | I'm constantly watching people. Watching their strengths and weaknesses. I find myself going into theater less and less, let alone horror. I gave that up when I was seven or eight years old. | 103 |
James Prescott Joule | Believing that the power to destroy belongs to the Creator alone I affirm... that any theory which, when carried out, demands the annihilation of force, is necessarily erroneous. | 103 |
Anne Frank | The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. | 104 |
Baruch Spinoza | He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason. | 104 |
Frida Kahlo | I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best. | 104 |
Toni Morrison | You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone. | 104 |
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work. | 104 |
Christopher McCandless | I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out of here. I am all alone. This is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless. | 104 |
James A. Baldwin | The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid; the state of being alone. | 104 |
William Osler | To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle. | 104 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. | 104 |
Athol Fugard | Night-time is when I brainstorm; last thing, when the family's asleep and I'm alone, I think about the next day's writing and plan a strategy for my assault on the blank page. | 104 |
Cathy Freeman | I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone. | 104 |
Charles Stanley | We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength. | 104 |
Frank Rich | One of the most persistent cultural tics of the early 21st century is Americans' reluctance to absorb, let alone prepare for, bad news. | 104 |
Freya Stark | To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. | 104 |
Gisele Bundchen | When you come from a big family, you see that, growing up, you're learning how to share. Your sisters have got your back; you're not alone in this - 'We all support you!' Your family provides that; it gives you a sense of safety, and it's a very grounding feeling. | 104 |
Ibrahim Babangida | The average Nigerian person has come to reconcile himself with the fact that his or her social progress remain essentially in his or her hands in collaboration with other fellow Nigerians and not merely relying on what government alone could provide for him or her. | 104 |
Iggy Azalea | I always felt really alone because no one wanted to talk about the things that I enjoyed, and that was really rap music and hip-hop as a culture. You know, having the shoes, using the words, buying the magazines, seeing the videos. And I had nobody to share it with, so I feel like I lived a lot online. | 104 |
John Quincy Adams | Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. | 104 |
John Wesley | Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth. | 104 |
K. D. Lang | Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside. | 104 |
Laura Bush | The power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone. | 104 |
Laurence Sterne | In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself. | 104 |
Lena Headey | I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared. | 104 |
Novak Djokovic | I'm a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone. | 104 |
O. Henry | If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry. | 104 |
Paracelsus | However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream. | 104 |
Paul Tillich | Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate. | 104 |
Pope John XXIII | The true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but in mutual trust alone. | 104 |
Sarah Silverman | I like my life alone. I mean, I love being with friends, and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices. | 104 |
Simon Hoggart | I cannot be alone in being pretty nauseated by Red Nose Day, or at least its television manifestation. Do I think that wretchedly poor children in Africa should get food and life-saving drugs? Of course. Do I want to be hectored into contributing by celebrities who earn more in a 10-minute slot than many of these families get in a year? Nope. | 104 |
Steven Pressfield | As powerful as is our soul's call, so potent are the forces of Resistance arrayed against it. We're not alone if we've been mowed down by Resistance; millions of good men and women have bitten the dust before us. | 104 |
Thor Heyerdahl | I have never been able to grasp the meaning of time. I don't believe it exists. I've felt this again and again, when alone and out in nature. On such occasions, time does not exist. Nor does the future exist. | 104 |
Thornton Wilder | But there comes a moment in everybody's life when he must decide whether he'll live among the human beings or not - a fool among fools or a fool alone. | 104 |
Thurgood Marshall | If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his house, what books he may read or what films he may watch. | 104 |
Whitney Houston | I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems. | 104 |
William Dunbar | All love is lost but upon God alone. | 104 |
Zooey Deschanel | I did not have a date to the prom. I went to my junior prom alone, and my senior prom, I was doing my first movie. I went in a limousine with, like, a bunch of people to my junior prom. It was a group date. | 104 |
Augusten Burroughs | The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It's not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work. | 104 |
Charlie Trotter | Sometimes I think I should have chosen a line of work where it was just me alone in the room, with the sun coming in, and God, insofar as he or she exists, smiling down upon me. Then I would have never been accused of being a tyrant, other than towards myself. | 104 |
Eamon de Valera | Mr. Churchill is proud of Britain's stand alone, after France had fallen and before America entered the War. | 104 |
Friedensreich Hundertwasser | When we dream alone it is only a dream, but when many dream together it is the beginning of a new reality. | 104 |
J. G. Ballard | I believe that if it were possible to scrap the whole of existing literature, all writers would find themselves inevitably producing something very close to SF ... No other form of fiction has the vocabulary of ideas and images to deal with the present, let alone the future. | 104 |
John Berger | That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe. | 104 |
John James Audubon | The Fur Company may be called the exterminating medium of these wild and almost uninhabitable regions, which cupidity or the love of money alone would induce man to venture into. Where can I now go and find nature undisturbed? | 104 |
Joyce Carol Oates | For some reason, voters can be brainwashed, and they vote sometimes against their own best interests, let alone voting against the interests of people who need them, like people who are disenfranchised and people who are poor and so forth. | 104 |
Karl Liebknecht | But Socialism, alone, can bring self-determination of their peoples. | 104 |
Laurie Helgoe | The ability to reflect is associated with critical thinking and reasoning ability. And the capacity to be alone is one of the highest levels of development. It's important to know how to self-soothe and be confident of other people's love even when they're not there in front of you. | 104 |
Maurice Sendak | I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist, but if nowhere means that's where they are, that's where I want to be. | 104 |
Meghan O'Rourke | But there is a discomfort that surrounds grief. It makes even the most well-intentioned people unsure of what to say. And so many of the freshly bereaved end up feeling even more alone. | 104 |
Mickey Rivers | I felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan. | 104 |
Phyllis McGinley | Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone. | 104 |
Sepp Blatter | FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal. | 104 |
Stefano Gabbana | I drive around on my scooter in Milan alone - we don't have bodyguards or anything like that. I am a fashion designer, not a celebrity, and although I get stopped for autographs and the like, I don't think I am famous. | 104 |
J. J. Abrams | I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening. | 104 |
Marvin Sapp | Marvin's Motivational Moments actually started as something that was actually therapeutic for me. I would sit up late at night after my wife passed trying to adjust to being alone. | 104 |
Mother Jones | I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone. | 104 |
Terry McMillan | You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way. | 104 |
Alfred Eisenstaedt | I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough. | 104 |
Edwin Way Teale | Time and space - time to be alone, space to move about - these may well become the great scarcities of tomorrow. | 104 |
John Barrymore | In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone; but sometimes it is a great relief. | 104 |
John Olver | The industrialization of China alone would increase by 90 percent the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere and would at least increase the atmospheric CO2 by at least another 100 parts per million. | 104 |
Randy Neugebauer | The thing about markets, and I think the thing people don't understand about that, is markets are not kind, but they're very efficient. So when the marketplace determines an inefficiency in the system, it corrects that, and a market system that's left alone will reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. | 104 |
Sri Aurobindo | India is the meeting place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration. | 104 |
Anna Letitia Barbauld | When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; when man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die! | 104 |
Leni Riefenstahl | The applause was so loud and insistent that I had to respond with several encores. I was numb with happiness, when it was over, I knew that this alone must be my life and my world. | 104 |
John Schneider | People have come to me for my opinion since 'October Baby.' But, hey, look, I'm an actor who is very fortunate to be in a movie that's making wonderful noise, and hopefully helping parents and children to be a little closer. Leave me alone. I'm not talking about politics. I'm just trying to have a conversation with my own kids. | 104 |
Jonathan Carroll | For an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat. | 104 |
Roy Orbison | Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight. | 104 |
James Ellroy | I like to be alone so I can write. But focus can hurt you. I don't want to be some stress casualty in early middle age. | 104 |
John Jay Chapman | Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself. | 104 |
Audrey Hepburn | For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. | 105 |
Kofi Annan | The Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone. | 105 |
P. T. Barnum | Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. | 105 |
Bobby Scott | Each year over 2,500 commercial vessels enter the Port of Hampton Roads alone, so adequate funding for port security is a significant issue for those of us who live in Richmond and Hampton Roads. | 105 |
Caroline Knapp | On the broad spectrum of solitude, I lean toward the extreme end: I work alone, as well as live alone, so I can pass an entire day without uttering so much as a hello to another human being. Sometimes a day's conversation consists of only five words, uttered at the local Starbucks: 'Large coffee with milk, please.' | 105 |
Chief Joseph | We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone. | 105 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | In football, I don't have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many... Most of the time, I'm alone. | 105 |
Dan Rather | But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place. | 105 |
Dylan Thomas | Go on thinking that you don't need to be read and you'll find that it may become quite true: no one will feel the need tom read it because it is written for yourself alone; and the public won't feel any impulse to gate crash such a private party. | 105 |
Eddie Van Halen | I'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play. | 105 |
Faith Hill | I don't want to sound like a Hallmark card, but to be able to wake up each day with food and shelter, that alone is good. Forget aging and the fact that my butt is becoming a little more familiar with my knees than my tailbone. If you are six feet above ground it's a good day. So, give me more! | 105 |
Ferdinand Marcos | Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness, and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone, accept everything alone. | 105 |
George Gershwin | All great composers of the past spent most of their time studying. Feeling alone won't do the job. A man also needs technique. | 105 |
Hank Aaron | The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run. | 105 |
Heidi Klum | What are you going to do if you have all the money in the world and all the things that you wanted to achieve in your business and you have no one to share it with? You come home alone at the end of the day. And then what? | 105 |
Henry Adams | The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin. | 105 |
Irving Penn | Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment. | 105 |
Jeremy Bentham | Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do. | 105 |
Jodie Foster | As an actor, I'm attracted to drama; as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress. | 105 |
Katherine Mansfield | It's a terrible thing to be alone - yes it is - it is - but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath - as terrible as you like - but a mask. | 105 |
Mick Jagger | Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos. | 105 |
Octavio Paz | Self-discovery is above all the realization that we are alone: it is the opening of an impalpable, transparent wall - that of our consciousness - between the world and ourselves. | 105 |
R. Kelly | I still feel like I'm alone at times - even if I'm in the midst of a million people. Because no one - including me - understands my mind creatively. I haven't really been formally introduced to my gift yet. I feel like I'm still on the runway. | 105 |
Reinhold Niebuhr | Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love. | 105 |
Sandra Day O'Connor | We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something. | 105 |
Stella Young | The battle to find a workplace that's wheelchair accessible is a feat in itself, let alone an employer who's going to be cool about employing someone with a disability in a job you actually want to do. | 105 |
Walter Kirn | The strange anthropological lesson of social media is that human beings, if given a choice, often prefer to socialize alone. | 105 |
Winona Ryder | Weird people follow you in the streets, you can't sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone. | 105 |
Boethius | A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven. | 105 |
Bruce Barton | It would do the world good if every man would compel himself occasionally to be absolutely alone. Most of the world s progress has come out of such loneliness. | 105 |
Edward Sapir | Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. | 105 |
Jerome K. Jerome | We are so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe. | 105 |
Maria Shriver | No matter who you are, what you've accomplished, what your financial situation is - when you're dealing with a parent with Alzheimer's, you yourself feel helpless. The parent can't work, can't live alone, and is totally dependent, like a toddler. As the disease unfolds, you don't know what to expect. | 105 |
Sophie Swetchine | Strength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished. | 105 |
Emily Carr | You come into the world alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even going and coming. | 105 |
Mike Mills | There's great sadness and life doesn't work out like you would want, on a lot of levels, but there's no need to feel all alone. This happens to everybody, so there's no self-pity. This is the ride that humans are on, and all of it is essential for our natural part of it. | 105 |
Rachel Corrie | We are all born and someday we'll all die. Most likely to some degree alone. Our aloneness in this world is, maybe not anymore, a thing to mourn. | 105 |
Steve Lacy | You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others. | 105 |
Adrienne Bailon | I'm very open and honest, and I feel like it's important for women to hear that we're not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is, and I probably would've been better off if I'd left myself alone. | 105 |
Donna Summer | But I like to know that someone is stronger than I am. I want to be able to know that if I get tired, somebody is there to hold up the fort. I like knowing that I can't pick a refrigerator alone. God did not make me strong enough to do that. | 105 |
Erich Maria Remarque | A hospital alone shows what war is. | 105 |
Morgan Wootten | It's amazing the things you hear from your players talking to them one on one. I never embarrassed a player, I spoke with him alone. | 105 |
Simon Pegg | There's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you. | 105 |
Andrew Eldritch | Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone. | 105 |
Michael Zaslow | People with fertility problems are not alone. It is a very very common problem for couples today. I've seen statistics that are just staggering. | 105 |
Morarji Desai | Therefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world. | 105 |
John Webster | Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together. | 105 |
Josie Maran | Luckily, my husband is my business partner as well as my life partner, so I never had to do the heavy lifting alone, literally or figuratively. | 105 |
Benito Mussolini | War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it. | 106 |
Christopher McCandless | No phone. No pool. No pets. No cigarettes. Ultimate freedom... No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become Lost in the Wild. | 106 |
Dennis Prager | Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists. | 106 |
Ali ibn Abi Talib | Let me alone, and go in search of someone else. | 106 |
Ban Ki-moon | Grave security concerns can arise as a result of demographic trends, chronic poverty, economic inequality, environmental degradation, pandemic diseases, organized crime, repressive governance and other developments no state can control alone. Arms can't address such concerns. | 106 |
Billy Idol | It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end. | 106 |
Cate Blanchett | There are very few issues that lie specifically in one region now. Polio in Syria doesn't affect Syria alone. I don't think any issue can ever be isolated into local politics these days, because we all know too much. | 106 |
Courtney Love | I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky. | 106 |
E. O. Wilson | You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give. | 106 |
Edward Young | By all means use some time to be alone. | 106 |
George Strait | I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone. | 106 |
Gro Harlem Brundtland | Today osteoporosis affects more than 75 million people in the United States, Europe and Japan and causes more than 2.3 million fractures in the USA and Europe alone. | 106 |
Gustav Klimt | Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want. | 106 |
Harold Bloom | But in the end, in the end one is alone. We are all of us alone. I mean I'm told these days we have to consider ourselves as being in society... but in the end one knows one is alone, that one lives at the heart of a solitude. | 106 |
Horatio Nelson | Let me alone: I have yet my legs and one arm. Tell the surgeon to make haste and his instruments. I know I must lose my right arm, so the sooner it's off the better. | 106 |
Ivan Turgenev | In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country's fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language! | 106 |
Karl Barth | Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone. | 106 |
Liberty Hyde Bailey | When the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself. | 106 |
Peter Singer | I don't think nationalism is alone holding the field; it's in contention with a lot of different things. | 106 |
Randy Pausch | You can't get there alone. People have to help you, and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks. You get people to help you by telling the truth, by being earnest. | 106 |
Richard Pryor | I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another. | 106 |
Rosa Luxemburg | Social democracy seeks and finds the ways, and particular slogans, of the workers' struggle only in the course of the development of this struggle, and gains directions for the way forward through this struggle alone. | 106 |
Tallulah Bankhead | I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone. | 106 |
Tullian Tchividjian | The gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage. | 106 |
William Blackstone | Men was formed for society, and is neither capable of living alone, nor has the courage to do it. | 106 |
Anne Bronte | If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone. | 106 |
Dario Argento | I remember when I was very young, I had a fever - a long rheumatic fever in bed for four months. And in the days, I stayed alone with the maid. I only had my father's books with me. They were fantasy books about ghosts, and also books by Edgar Allen Poe that made a forever impression on me. | 106 |
Elizabeth Bowen | Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies. | 106 |
Graham Coxon | A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone. | 106 |
Jeremy Taylor | A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity. | 106 |
Mary Baker Eddy | Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it. | 106 |
Patrick J. Kennedy | In the last 5 years, American employers have lost over $150 billion of productivity to depression alone. That is more than the GDP of 28 different States during the same period. | 106 |
Sarah McLachlan | I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind. | 106 |
Tim Wise | For people of color - especially African Americans - the idea that racist cops might frame members of their community is no abstract notion, let alone an exercise in irrational conspiracy theorizing. Rather, it speaks to a social reality about which blacks are acutely aware. | 106 |
Tori Spelling | Sometimes, when I'm alone, I put on six inch heels and wear nothing else and dance around in front of the mirror and do my little stripper dance. | 106 |
Banks | A lot of times, people are ashamed of feeling weak and being rejected - so it's liberating to be able to sing about those things. And it's amazing when other people don't feel alone because they hear it. | 106 |
Claude Levi-Strauss | Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe. | 106 |
Shay Mitchell | I feel so good after a workout. Any time you can be alone with yourself is really important. | 106 |
Edwin Markham | There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. | 106 |
Gertrude Jekyll | In garden arrangement, as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire a knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what it is well to let alone. | 106 |
Marc Newson | Yeah, my dream would be to work for 6 months and then have 6 months to play, just snowboarding, surfing, and going to cool places to listen and be alone and kinda chill out. | 106 |
Meg Cabot | This is how many people become artists, musicians, writers, computer programmers, record-holding athletes, scientists... by spending time alone practicing what they love. | 106 |
Tony Buzan | Children need stimulation and stability. That can come from grandparents, cousins, teachers, nannies, childcare centres - as long as they engage with the children and are really fond of them. There are also times when children need to be left alone to learn to be independent and to encourage their imaginary friends. | 106 |
Adam Braun | Global poverty is a complex web of interlinked problems. There is no one 'silver bullet' that will solve global inequality. Multiple contributing factors must be tackled in parallel. Yes, education alone is unlikely to lead to employment without economic reform to address the demand side in much of the developing world. | 106 |
Jacob Bronowski | Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created. | 106 |
Jason Schwartzman | Man, I hate to get depressing on you, but I don't have a game. I'm so alone, so depressed, so dark, no. | 106 |
Amy Lowell | Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and drench me in loneliness. | 106 |
M. F. Husain | I think you don't do work for controversy alone, and whenever you do new work which people don't understand and they say it is done to create controversy. | 106 |
Miranda July | I didn't have any vices before the Internet. There are a lot of cracks in the day, moments where you don't know what to do next, so you have a little hole where you look at your phone. You want something that will mean you're not alone in that moment. | 106 |
Jacques Ellul | The Holy Spirit alone can do this, the Holy Spirit alone can establish this link with one's neighbor. | 106 |
Marilyn Monroe | It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far. | 107 |
Phil McGraw | You're only lonely if you're not there for you. | 107 |
Booker T. Washington | Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. | 107 |
Demetri Martin | I think it's interesting that 'cologne' rhymes with 'alone.' | 107 |
Ravi Zacharias | Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone. | 107 |
Swami Sivananda | There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment. | 107 |
Amanda Seyfried | We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself, to spend some time alone. | 107 |
Arthur C. Clarke | Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. | 107 |
Baltasar Gracian | He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything. | 107 |
Chris Pine | Musical theater is great; you get painted up, you get to play princesses and witches, and you sing. The joy alone of that can really carry a lot. | 107 |
Chris Van Allsburg | 'The Polar Express' began with the idea of a train standing alone in the woods. I asked myself, 'What if a boy gets on that train? Where does he go?' | 107 |
Chuck Palahniuk | Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying? | 107 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | I don't like being alone. | 107 |
Elizabeth I | I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married. | 107 |

Louie Gohmert | I had a lot of friends in high school who said, 'Louie, I don't care what the government does as long as they leave me alone.' Well, guess what, when you don't care what the government does, it does not leave you alone. | 107 |
Padma Lakshmi | In truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends. | 107 |
Ramana Maharshi | If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second. | 107 |
Robert M. Pirsig | Even in the presence of others he was completely alone. | 107 |
Sandra Day O'Connor | It was better for me when I was joined at the court by a second woman. When I was there alone, there was too much media focus on the one woman, and the minute we got another woman, that changed. | 107 |
Sienna Miller | As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone. | 107 |
William O. Douglas | The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. | 107 |
Zooey Deschanel | Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling. | 107 |
Ashwin Sanghi | I have always been a bit of an introvert. In fact, my dad used to force me to meet people so that my interpersonal skills improve. As an individual, I was happiest when left alone. | 107 |
Bruce Feiler | The simplest consequence of walking on crutches is that you walk slower. Every step must be a necessary one. When you hurry, you get where you're going, but you get there alone. When you go slow, you get where you're going, but you get there with a community you've built along the way. | 107 |
Diablo Cody | I absolutely relate to being alone in squalor, trying to come up with something adequate. I relate to that, and I've been known to crawl out of bed and drink out of a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke. | 107 |
Ellen Page | I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world. | 107 |
Jefferson Davis | All we ask is to be let alone. | 107 |
John Clayton | Between 1910 and 1950 approximately 350 lives of Jesus were published in the English language alone. | 107 |
M.I.A. | My dad grew up in a mud hut and studied by candlelight. He was 14 when he got a scholarship to Russia. He was super clever - the cleverest person. He landed in 5ft of snow, and was alone at 14, studying science and engineering. He didn't have a bed, and he slept on a table. | 107 |
Scott Hamilton | Without strength and courage it's really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you're alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself. | 107 |
Ann Hood | Since my brother died in 1982, my parents and I had formed a shaky tripod of a family; now that I'd lost my father too, it was too easy for me to glimpse a future point where I alone was the keeper of not just my own childhood memories, but of my family lore. | 107 |
James Anthony Froude | We enter the world alone, we leave the world alone. | 107 |

Helen Keller | Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. | 108 |
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew. | 108 |
Richard Branson | The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records. | 108 |
Audre Lorde | I can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too? | 108 |
Lady Gaga | I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one. | 108 |
Marcel Proust | It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body. | 108 |
Robert A. Heinlein | I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. | 108 |
Arundhati Roy | In a way, writing is an incredible act of individualism, producing your language, and yet to use it from the heart of a crowd as opposed to as an individual performance is a conflicting thing. I do stand alone, and yet it's not about being an individual or being ambitious. | 108 |
Don Rickles | When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last. | 108 |
Frank Abagnale | The front of a cheque alone gives someone enough information to steal your identity. | 108 |
Gail Collins | You know, I really miss sex scandals. They're generally colorful. They almost never mean anything over the long run. And while they're going on, the people who actually keep the government running are let alone to go about their business. Good old sex scandals. | 108 |
George Muller | I seek the Will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. | 108 |
Jack Canfield | Remember, you and you alone are responsible for maintaining your energy. Give up blaming, complaining and excuse making, and keep taking action in the direction of your goals - however mundane or lofty they may be. | 108 |
Joe Rogan | I think that one of the reasons why people look towards the end of humanity is that people are afraid to die alone. If you die alone, the people you love will miss you, or if they die, you miss them - the sorrow is inevitable. When you truly love someone, the thought of losing them forever is horrible. | 108 |
Leland Stanford | The employee is regarded by the employer merely in the light of his value as an operative. His productive capacity alone is taken into account. | 108 |
Leonardo DiCaprio | I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone. | 108 |

Menachem Mendel Schneerson | So during those first moments of the day, which are yours and yours alone, you can circumvent these boundaries and concentrate fully on spiritual matters. And this gives you the opportunity to plan the time management of the entire day. | 108 |
Nathan Myhrvold | Anybody who can afford a box of business cards can afford a Web site. Any company with an 800 number can move its services to the Web for peanuts by comparison. The extreme case of corporate promotion is to strip away all other aspects of your business and sell goods or services via the Net alone, as amazon.com has done with books. | 108 |
Oscar Levant | Schizophrenia beats dining alone. | 108 |
Paramahansa Yogananda | The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others. | 108 |
Patton Oswalt | I can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast. | 108 |
Thomas Wolfe | In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death. | 108 |
Whitney Houston | When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. | 108 |
Yehuda Berg | We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone. | 108 |
Yoko Ono | Being alone is very difficult. | 108 |
Ben Harper | When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone - it's possible. But creatively, it's more like painting: you can't just use the same colours in every painting. It's just not an option. You can't take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences. | 108 |
Eileen Caddy | A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable. | 108 |
Grace Jones | I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone. | 108 |

Leighton Meester | I'm so accustomed to being alone. | 108 |
Richard Linklater | Something about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone. | 108 |
Thomas de Quincey | 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. | 108 |
Marya Mannes | For every five well-adjusted and smoothly functioning Americans, there are two who never had the chance to discover themselves. It may well be because they have never been alone with themselves. | 108 |
Abu Bakar Bashir | Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone. | 108 |
John Boyle O'Reilly | Prize-Fighting is not the aim of boxing. This noble exercise ought not to be judged by the dishonesty or the low lives of too many of its professional followers. Let it stand alone, an athletic practice, on the same footing as boating or football. | 108 |
Matthew Gray Gubler | I really cite Walt Disney as teaching me everything I know. It sounds crazy, but I'm serious! In 'Bambi,' the mother dies, but you don't see the corpse. You see the father, the stag, come up and you see 'Bambi' alone, and that has so much more impact than seeing a mutilated deer. | 108 |
Jasmine Guy | Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured. | 108 |
Friedrich Nietzsche | The doer alone learneth. | 109 |
Gilbert K. Chesterton | Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it. | 109 |
Adriana Lima | I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone. | 109 |
Antonio Porchia | He who does not fill his world with phantoms remains alone. | 109 |
Billy Connolly | Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on. | 109 |
Britney Spears | I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway, and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me. | 109 |
Dylan Moran | I don't watch a whole lot of stand up. Mainly I prefer to read writers; they make me laugh the most. Something gets you when you're alone and someone's voice is coming through their work. There's a different quality to it that stays with you a bit more. | 109 |
Estelle | You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that. | 109 |
Gene Simmons | I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves, but I love me. | 109 |
Gail Collins | Gay rights is just a matter of time. Look at the polls. Worrying about gay marriage, let alone gay civil unions or gay employment rights, is a middle-age issue. Young people just can't see the problem. At worst, gays are going to win this one just by waiting until the opposition dies off. | 109 |
George Matthew Adams | It is easier to win than to fail. Everybody sides with the winner. But the failure walks alone. | 109 |
Jeff Buckley | Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone. | 109 |
John Wesley | I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death. | 109 |
P. G. Wodehouse | Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well. | 109 |
Paul Tillich | Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone. | 109 |
Susan Sontag | Volume depends precisely on the writer's having been able to sit in a room every day, year after year, alone. | 109 |
William Temple | The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it. | 109 |
Yves Saint Laurent | I'm so secluded. Very alone. | 109 |
Dada Vaswani | People need to know that they are not alone, that they have not been abandoned; but that there is One Who loves them for what they are, Who cares about them. | 109 |
Emil Zatopek | The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on. | 109 |
Joel Edgerton | I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me. | 109 |
Laura Marling | I need some isolation, it's necessary to me, that's just who I am. I need to be left alone. | 109 |
Laurieann Gibson | I personally love to run outdoor fitness trails. I love the meditative value I get when out alone, challenging myself to run faster and higher. | 109 |
Meir Kahane | The Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies. | 109 |
Russell Baker | Those who remember Washington's cold war culture in the 1980s will recall the shocked reactions to Reagan's intervention. People interested in foreign policy were astonished when in 1985 he met alone at Geneva - alone, not a single strategic thinker at his elbow! - with the Soviet Communist master Gorbachev. | 109 |
Thomas Browne | Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself. | 109 |
Akhenaton | Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it. | 109 |
Jane Smiley | I learned why 'out riding alone' is an oxymoron: An equestrian is never alone, is always sensing the other being, the mysterious but also understandable living being that is the horse. | 109 |
Jaron Lanier | Style used to be an interaction between the human soul and tools that were limiting. In the digital era, it will have to come from the soul alone. | 109 |
Julianne Moore | When I was growing up, the place I felt least alone was when I was reading. | 109 |
Steve Lacy | I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music. | 109 |
Susan Wojcicki | I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google, let alone the first woman to have a baby, to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons. | 109 |
Joaquin Phoenix | It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone. | 109 |
Joe Bastianich | No matter what it is you are cooking, buy the best ingredients you can afford. I don't care if it's a simple salad or Beef Wellington. A quality product stands alone and won't need any dressing up. | 109 |
Joseph Gordon-Levitt | If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone. | 109 |
Shannen Doherty | For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I'd get self-conscious. | 109 |
George Washington | It is better to be alone than in bad company. | 110 |
Iyanla Vanzant | I had to stop traveling alone because I missed so many planes. When somebody runs up to you in the airport and begins to tell you their life story, you can't say, 'Excuse me, boo,' as they're weeping on your bosom. | 110 |
Charles Bukowski | I would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life. | 110 |
Rudyard Kipling | He travels the fastest who travels alone. | 110 |
Christy Turlington | I tried acupuncture, the patch, and hypnosis, but found that I needed to do it alone - when the time was right for me. | 110 |
Evelyn Waugh | Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth. | 110 |
Fiona Apple | I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time. | 110 |
Grover Norquist | Look, the center right coalition in American politics today is best understood as a coalition of groups and individuals that on the issue that brings them to politics what they want from the government is to be left alone. | 110 |
Guru Nanak | Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss. | 110 |
Henrik Ibsen | The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone. | 110 |

Jean de la Bruyere | At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone. | 110 |
Johnny Carson | Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?' | 110 |
William Hazlitt | Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust; hatred alone is immortal. | 110 |

May Sarton | In the country of pain we are each alone. | 110 |
Mehmet Oz | In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient. | 110 |
Jenna Morasca | I think cancer is a hard battle to fight alone or with another person at your side, but I will say having someone to pick you up when you fall, stand by your side through every appointment and delivery of bad news, is priceless. | 110 |
Johann Kaspar Lavater | You may tell a man thou art a fiend, but not your nose wants blowing; to him alone who can bear a thing of that kind, you may tell all. | 110 |
Robert Musil | All still lifes are actually paintings of the world on the sixth day of creation, when God and the world were alone together, without man! | 110 |
Carl Jung | Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. | 111 |
Emily Dickinson | To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few. | 111 |
Jean-Paul Sartre | There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck. | 111 |
Martin Luther | Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. | 111 |
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves. | 111 |
Thomas Hobbes | The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind. | 111 |
Amy Poehler | Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live. | 111 |
Edward Abbey | One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork. | 111 |
Elayne Boosler | I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone. | 111 |
Francis Ford Coppola | I like to work in the morning. I like to sometimes go to a place where I'm all alone where I'm not going to get a phone call early that hurts my feelings, because once my feelings are hurt, I'm dead in the water. | 111 |
Guru Nanak | Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one's wife alone. | 111 |
Hubert H. Humphrey | This, then, is the test we must set for ourselves; not to march alone but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us. | 111 |
James Dean | Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have. | 111 |
Jodie Foster | It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me. | 111 |
John Lasseter | The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters. | 111 |
Joseph Smith, Jr. | A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race. | 111 |
Judy Garland | If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely? | 111 |
Maxwell Maltz | If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone. | 111 |
Octavia Butler | I'm very happy alone. | 111 |
Pearl S. Buck | Love alone could waken love. | 111 |
Philip Zimbardo | What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone, isolated on e-mail, in chat rooms, which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people. | 111 |
Walter Payton | Running alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself. | 111 |
Wendell Berry | We cannot know the whole truth, which belongs to God alone, but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true, as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors, truth will retaliate with ugliness, poverty, and disease. | 111 |
Bob Seger | I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well. | 111 |
Brooke Shields | I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. PPD is out of their control, but the treatment and healing process is not. | 111 |
Meir Kahane | For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d. | 111 |
David Hume | Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain. | 112 |
Henry A. Kissinger | A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone. | 112 |
Martin Luther | God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars. | 112 |
Nigel Farage | Perhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now, let alone any more, is well known. | 112 |
Charles Bukowski | Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities. | 112 |

Tennessee Williams | We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life. | 112 |
Friedrich Schiller | The strong man is strongest when alone. | 112 |
Henry B. Eyring | We never need feel we are alone or unloved in the Lord's service because we never are. The Savior has promised angels on our left and on our right to bear us up, and he always keeps his word. | 112 |
John Burroughs | If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go. | 112 |
Josephine Baker | I believe if the white and colored people could get together and be let alone, they would understand each other and consequently love each other. | 112 |
Magic Johnson | When you are a successful business person, you are only as good as your team. No one can do every deal alone. | 112 |
Martin Heidegger | Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one. | 112 |

Robert Browning | Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds? | 112 |
Saint Ambrose | No one is good but God alone. What is good is therefore divine, what is divine is therefore good. | 112 |
Walter Annenberg | Your Majesty, I took the liberty because I was so desirous of visiting alone with you for a few minutes before the rest of the other peasants arrived. | 112 |
Brian O'Driscoll | My missus knows to leave me alone. | 112 |
Josh McDowell | While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life. | 112 |
Lena Horne | I'm not alone, I'm free. I no longer have to be a credit, I don't have to be a symbol to anybody; I don't have to be a first to anybody. | 112 |
Anna Held | Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences. | 112 |
Sam Abell | Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay. | 112 |
Shane Warne | We've just got to be careful - with all sports, let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport. | 112 |
Karl Pilkington | People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone! | 113 |
Louis C. K. | It's kind of awkward to eat alone in a restaurant because everybody's looking at me. | 113 |
Rosa Parks | Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way. | 113 |
Tennessee Williams | When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone. | 113 |
Zig Ziglar | It is true that integrity alone won't make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one. | 113 |
Bobby Flay | My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef. | 113 |
Caroline Knapp | Happy and alone, you say? Reclusive and merry? How oxymoronic! Pas possible! Alas, the concept is lost on so many. | 113 |
Charles Stanley | Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going. | 113 |
Dylan Moran | I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone - and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust; key stuff - a perilous loss. | 113 |
Elliott Erwitt | Most photographers work best alone, myself included. | 113 |
Halle Berry | I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage. | 113 |

Jean de la Bruyere | All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone. | 113 |
Joe Rogan | The only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone. | 113 |
Kendall Jenner | Sometimes I just want to be left alone and be a normal kid for, like, five minutes. That's tough when the paparazzi are chasing you. | 113 |
Laurence Sterne | I once asked a hermit in Italy how he could venture to live alone, in a single cottage, on the top of a mountain, a mile from any habitation? He replied, that Providence was his next-door neighbor. | 113 |
Leona Lewis | I have my best ideas when I am alone. | 113 |
Lily Tomlin | Remember we're all in this alone. | 113 |
Louis D. Brandeis | Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears. | 113 |
Natalie Wood | I couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me. | 113 |
Olga Kurylenko | I think I'll be single my whole life. It's entirely possible I'm going to end up alone. Because I don't want to make any sacrifices for my own development and achieving what I want to achieve, and I don't want a family to get in the way of that. | 113 |
Paul Davies | Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe. | 113 |
Pearl S. Buck | Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up. | 113 |
Richard Pryor | I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet. | 113 |
Thomas Hardy | If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone. | 113 |
Tom Ford | I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person. | 113 |
Alison Sweeney | We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant, how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I'm always busy, with people at work, with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music. | 113 |
Elizabeth Bowen | There is no end to the violations committed by children on children, quietly talking alone. | 113 |
Tahar Ben Jelloun | People must insist on the right to say no, to be alone, to stand out from the herd. Creative artists can say all this in their own way and in their own field, by hard, rigorous work. | 113 |
Julie Burchill | As a child, I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books, and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there, I wanted to make loads of money. | 113 |
Thomas Merton | We do not exist for ourselves alone, and it is only when we are fully convinced of this fact that we begin to love ourselves properly and thus also love others. | 114 |
John Lydon | You gotta bear in mind, the youth - and this is just in Britain alone - have nowhere to go in the evenings. They've closed all the social centers. There's not even a patch of grass to kick a ball on. | 114 |
Adam Levine | I'm fiercely independent, but I'm also terrified of being alone. | 114 |
Charles Caleb Colton | To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet. | 114 |
Deepika Padukone | I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone. | 114 |
G-Eazy | I try to find 15 minutes a day to just be alone without any distractions just for headspace to meditate and get my Zen on. I think that helps me get through the hecticness of the day on tour with the interviews, the sound check, the meet and greets, the show and the post-show meet and greets. | 114 |
Gabriel Garcia Marquez | I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone. | 114 |
Germaine Greer | Even crushed against his brother in the Tube the average Englishman pretends desperately that he is alone. | 114 |
Hope Solo | I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person. I'm sorry. | 114 |
Liam Gallagher | She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book. | 114 |
Stevie Nicks | Most women would not be happy being me. People say, 'But you're alone.' But I don't feel alone. I feel very un-alone. | 114 |
Virginia Postrel | When 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' premiered on the WB Network in 1996, American culture was in trouble. Americans were bowling alone, pursuing individual interests to the detriment of the communal good. Business leaders were celebrating creativity and neglecting discipline. Nike's 'Just do it' ads were teaching young people to break the rules. | 114 |
Alexandre Dumas | He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door. | 114 |
Bipasha Basu | As a child, I was a brat, and my parents didn't know how to control me. So they told me ghost stories, which stayed with me. I am still petrified of darkness and being alone. | 114 |
Jules Renard | There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire. | 114 |
Jeanette Winterson | I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed. | 114 |
Jodi Picoult | I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that, as a novelist, you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds. | 114 |
Coco Chanel | Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous. | 115 |
Vivienne Westwood | The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything. | 115 |
Johnny Cash | I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television. | 115 |
Tim Burton | I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world. | 115 |
William Osler | Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert. | 115 |
Charles Lindbergh | Is he alone who has courage on his right hand and faith on his left hand? | 115 |
Harry Connick, Jr. | 'The Christmas Song,' by Nat King Cole, is not only a masterful performance; to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it, because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone. | 115 |
Henry B. Eyring | We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord's service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and our right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word. | 115 |
Janis Joplin | On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone. | 115 |
Judy Garland | You are never so alone as when you are ill on stage. The most nightmarish feeling in the world is suddenly to feel like throwing up in front of four thousand people. | 115 |
Marcus Samuelsson | We can all agree that government can't solve the obesity crisis alone. It's an ongoing issue that will require a collaborative effort across private and public sectors if we want to see some long-term success. | 115 |
Paracelsus | Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster. | 115 |
Rafael Nadal | Being home alone at night makes me a bit nervous. If I'm at home alone, I have to sleep on the sofa - I can't face going to bed. I'm there with the TV on and all the lights on. I'm not very brave about anything in life. In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very. | 115 |
Thomas Babington Macaulay | The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power. | 115 |
Thomas Carlyle | None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone. | 115 |
Thornton Wilder | The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose. | 115 |
Zsa Zsa Gabor | When I'm alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument. | 115 |
Joseph Gordon-Levitt | Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever. | 115 |
Jesus Christ | Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. | 116 |
Martin Luther | Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart. | 116 |
bell hooks | I thought about how we need to make children feel that there are times in their lives when they need to be alone and quiet and to be able to accept their aloneness. | 116 |
Black Elk | Now suddenly there was nothing but a world of cloud, and we three were there alone in the middle of a great white plain with snowy hills and mountains staring at us; and it was very still; but there were whispers. | 116 |
Diane Ackerman | I've always loved scuba diving and the cell-tickling feel of being underwater, though it poses unique frustrations. Alone, but with others, you may share the same sights and feelings, but you can't communicate well. | 116 |
Erica Jong | Solitude is un-American. | 116 |
Gerald R. Ford | I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone. | 116 |
Henry B. Eyring | It is never too late to strengthen the foundation of faith. There is always time. With faith in the Savior, you can repent and plead for forgiveness. There is someone you can forgive. There is someone you can thank. There is someone you can serve and lift. You can do it wherever you are and however alone and deserted you may feel. | 116 |
Heraclitus | Change alone is unchanging. | 116 |
James E. Faust | Ever since Adam's day, the divine law of the Sabbath has been emphasized repeatedly over the centuries more than any other commandment. This long emphasis alone is an indication of its importance. | 116 |
James Monroe | The great increase of our population throughout the Union will alone produce an important effect, and in no quarter will it be so sensibly felt as in those in contemplation. | 116 |
Lewis Black | You're on Facebook, and these people seem to have endless lives. I don't have time to live my life, let alone tell you what I'm doing, or post a photo. | 116 |
Mason Cooley | The lonely become either thoughtful or empty. | 116 |
Mortimer Adler | Unless we love and are loved, each of us is alone, each of us is deeply lonely. | 116 |
Paul McCartney | It's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone. | 116 |
Roger Ebert | But considering that I walked in expecting no complexity at all, let alone the visual wonderments, 'Snow White and the Huntsman' is a considerable experience. | 116 |
Annie Dillard | People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all. | 116 |
Boris Pasternak | At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone. | 116 |
John Irving | I'm not writing non-fiction. I don't feel anything about me as a kid was unique. Except that I had more interest in being alone and using my imagination. | 116 |
Matthew Perry | I certainly like the rumour that I was the father of Elizabeth Hurley's baby. It made me think I could impregnate women in a different way to everyone else. Elizabeth and I were never alone in a room together, so I must be a very powerful man indeed. Actually, I'm thinking of suing the baby! | 116 |
Monica Johnson | Give up pride for good during the holidays. This is where I've been especially stubborn. As I walk more and more in this path of Christianity, I see that letting my guard down and admitting that I don't want to be alone is far better than dealing with me, myself and I, who always seem to want to keep up appearances. | 116 |
John Piper | When I believe in Jesus, I am united to Christ. Therefore, what he did and achieved becomes mine by this union through faith alone. His righteous life is imputed to me. What Christ achieved is counted as mine. | 116 |
Margaret Chan | The World Health Organization did a world health report in 2006. In the whole world about 60 countries are in dire situation in terms of having enough doctors. And many of these countries are in Sub-Saharan Africa. You know, that part of the world alone needs one million doctors. | 116 |
George Washington | Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. | 117 |
Marilyn Monroe | I restore myself when I'm alone. | 117 |
Wayne Dyer | You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. | 117 |
Bertolt Brecht | The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it. | 117 |
Bill Murray | We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation. | 117 |
Corey Taylor | So many people in the world would rather stay in a situation that's painful but familiar because they're comfortable with it. Not a lot of people have the strength or heart to realize when something's not good for them and to turn around and be alone. | 117 |
Herman Hesse | Solitude is independence. | 117 |
Jean de la Bruyere | All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone. | 117 |
Mary Oliver | I very much wished not to be noticed, and to be left alone, and I sort of succeeded. | 117 |
Octavio Paz | Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone. | 117 |
Peter York | When I hear about something allegedly happening in the world I always ask: 'Who is doing it?' Trends break out because they're based on real demographics, like there being fewer nuclear families or more people living alone. If 10 people in Shoreditch are doing it, it's a 10-minute fad. | 117 |
Quintilian | Forbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire. | 117 |
Robin S. Sharma | The starting point of discovering who you are, your gifts, your talents, your dreams, is being comfortable with yourself. Spend time alone. Write in a journal. Take long walks in the woods. | 117 |
Rose George | In villages across the developing world, governments have provided reasonable enough latrines that have again and again been turned into storage spaces or simply abandoned. In India alone, millions of government-funded latrines have become goat-sheds. Some had been built near kitchens, a taboo in Indian households. | 117 |
Phil McGraw | It's better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else. | 118 |
Alfred Lord Tennyson | Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power. | 118 |
Chanakya | A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode. | 118 |
Brendan Behan | The prospect of success in achieving our most cherished dream is not without its terrors. Who is more deprived and alone than the man who has achieved his dream? | 118 |
Cesare Pavese | A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be. | 118 |
E. O. Wilson | If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable. | 118 |
James Franco | I still don't like going to bed alone. | 118 |
Joe Rogan | We're constantly re-evaluating the potential for life. We're finding it where we didn't think it could exist, such as volcanic vents and other extreme conditions like under arctic ice. We're finding life in these incredibly harsh and dynamic conditions, so we're having to re-evaluate our own ideas of what's possible on this planet alone. | 118 |
Muhammad Iqbal | It may, however, be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character, for concepts alone are capable of being socialized. | 118 |
Quintilian | As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone. | 118 |
Vin Scully | I don't like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I'm alone with a good book. | 118 |
John Irving | And I find - I'm 63, and my capacity to be by myself and just spend time by myself hasn't diminished any. That's the necessary part of being a writer, you better like being alone. | 118 |
Charles de Gaulle | Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone. | 119 |
Isaac Newton | In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence. | 119 |
Kurt Vonnegut | Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone. | 119 |
Vaclav Havel | The attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it. | 119 |
Jane Austen | Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter. | 119 |
Mao Zedong | The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history. | 119 |
Michel de Montaigne | There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to. | 119 |
Baltasar Gracian | Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone. | 119 |
E. O. Wilson | If we were to wipe out insects alone on this planet, the rest of life and humanity with it would mostly disappear from the land. Within a few months. | 119 |
Horatio Nelson | Our country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone. | 119 |
Jeff Bridges | For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad. | 119 |
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany. | 119 |
Annie Dillard | Buddhism notes that it is always a mistake to think your soul can go it alone. | 119 |
Audrey Hepburn | I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone. | 120 |
Jean-Jacques Rousseau | Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone. | 120 |
Rene Descartes | The two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge. | 120 |
Michelangelo | The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone. | 120 |
Alfred North Whitehead | Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed. | 120 |
Che Guevara | Remember that the revolution is what is important, and each one of us, alone, is worth nothing. | 120 |
Dorothy Day | Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action. | 120 |
David Hume | This avidity alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal, and directly destructive of society. | 121 |
Franz Kafka | Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so. | 121 |
Herbert Hoover | Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man. Here alone are the open windows through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit. Here alone is human dignity not a dream but an accomplishment. Perhaps it is not perfect, but it is more full in realization here than any other place in the world. | 121 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way. | 121 |
Claire Danes | I have a huge, active imagination, and I think I'm really scared of being alone; because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman. | 121 |
Greta Garbo | I want to be alone. | 121 |
Lana Del Rey | I used to wonder if it was God's plan that I should be alone for so much of my life. But I found peace. I found happiness within people and the world. | 121 |
Martin Heidegger | The Fuhrer alone is the present and future German reality and its law. Learn to know ever more deeply: from now on every single thing demands decision, and every action responsibility. | 121 |
Nancy Reagan | It is true that when you're in the White House alone, it is a lonely place. Big and lonely. | 121 |
Sandra Day O'Connor | Yes, I will bring the understanding of a woman to the Court, but I doubt that alone will affect my decisions. | 121 |
Sophia Loren | When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. | 121 |
Tori Amos | I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely. | 121 |
Jeanne Moreau | I think more and more people want to live alone. You can be a couple without being in each other's pockets. I don't see why you have to share the same bathroom. | 121 |
Marilyn Monroe | It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone. | 122 |
Terry Pratchett | It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone. | 122 |
Henri Nouwen | People with handicaps teach me that being is more important than doing, the heart is more important than the mind, and caring together is better than caring alone. | 122 |
David A. Bednar | Testimony is the beginning of and a prerequisite to continuing conversion. Testimony is a point of departure; it is not an ultimate destination. Strong testimony is the foundation upon which conversion is established. Testimony alone is not and will not be enough to protect us in the latter-day storm of darkness and evil in which we are living. | 122 |
Mark Wahlberg | I don't wanna hear nobody complain that they're getting paid all this money and people won't leave them alone. It's part of it. | 122 |
Paul Theroux | Because of my capacity for listening to strangers' tales, or the details of their lives, my patience with their food and their crotchets, my curiosity that borders on nosiness, I am told that anyone traveling with me experiences an unbelievable tedium, and this is why I choose to travel alone. | 122 |
Dr. Seuss | You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room. | 123 |
Salvador Dali | It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning. | 123 |
Elbert Hubbard | Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer. | 123 |
Elizabeth Cady Stanton | We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours? | 123 |
James Madison | I entirely concur in the propriety of resorting to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution. | 123 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves; that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships. | 123 |
Diane Ackerman | The further we distance ourselves from the spell of the present, explored by our senses, the harder it will be to understand and protect nature's precarious balance, let alone the balance of our own human nature. | 123 |
Horace Mann | Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity. | 123 |
Paul Cezanne | I have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain. | 123 |
will.i.am | Most of these people who are celebrities now don't do anything to deserve it, so by that fact alone, I don't want to be one. | 123 |
Jose Andres | A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don't get it. | 123 |
Justin Timberlake | The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends. | 123 |
W. E. B. Du Bois | One ever feels his twoness - an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. | 124 |
Jimmy Carter | Testing oneself is best when done alone. | 124 |
Chuck Palahniuk | People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone. | 124 |
Daisaku Ikeda | No one should be left to suffer alone. | 124 |
Golda Meir | I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively. | 124 |
Mos Def | And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone. | 124 |
Orison Swett Marden | The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone. | 124 |
Ramakrishna | Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone. | 124 |
Alan Moore | Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings. | 124 |
Paula Abdul | I'm happily single. | 124 |
Dolly Parton | My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails. | 125 |
Charles Bukowski | We're all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing. | 125 |
Steve Martin | I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner. | 125 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | How one hates to think of oneself as alone. How one avoids it. It seems to imply rejection or unpopularity. | 125 |
Douglas Rushkoff | Occupy Wall Street is meant more as a way of life that spreads through contagion, creates as many questions as it answers, aims to force a reconsideration of the way the nation does business and offers hope to those of us who previously felt alone in our belief that the current economic system is broken. | 125 |
Erykah Badu | No one chooses to raise children alone. | 125 |
Martha Beck | Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind. | 125 |
Nicolas Cage | I have dogs, and it's no secret that I find reptiles interesting, but the thing about reptiles is that they really just wanna be left alone, and I understand them. It's, 'Don't pick me up, stop holding me, don't look at me, just leave me alone.' I have to admit, sometimes I feel like that. | 125 |
Roald Dahl | When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green. | 125 |
Simone Weil | We can only know one thing about God - that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him. | 125 |
Arthur Schopenhauer | To live alone is the fate of all great souls. | 126 |
Baruch Spinoza | Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone. | 126 |
Stephen Hawking | The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it. | 126 |
Angelina Jolie | Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. | 126 |
Jack Nicholson | Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide. | 126 |
Naveen Jain | 'Being green' is commendable, but I hope that people don't take too much pride and self-adoration because they shut off the water when they brushed their teeth. The truth of the matter is, conservation alone will do little to save our planet. | 126 |
Orison Swett Marden | No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation. | 126 |
Barack Obama | We're not a fragile people. We're not a frightful people. Our power doesn't come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don't look to be ruled. | 201 |
Audrey Hepburn | I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel. | 201 |
Isaac Newton | The motions which the planets now have could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent. | 201 |
Rumi | However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers. | 201 |
Demetri Martin | I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!' | 201 |
Rainer Maria Rilke | I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone. | 201 |
Sarah Palin | Well, I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. | 201 |
Taylor Swift | I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails. | 202 |
Orison Swett Marden | Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world. | 202 |
William Shatner | I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog. | 202 |
John Muir | Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you. | 203 |
Leo Tolstoy | In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful. | 203 |
Anton Chekhov | We learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well. | 203 |
Elizabeth Gilbert | I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be. | 203 |
Kin Hubbard | No woman can be handsome by the force of features alone, any more that she can be witty by only the help of speech. | 203 |
Mason Cooley | Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame. | 203 |
Seth Shostak | The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That's a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it's all bleakly barren. | 203 |
William S. Burroughs | You must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence. | 203 |
Ziggy Marley | I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line. | 203 |
Jean Rostand | To be adult is to be alone. | 203 |
Jerry Saltz | Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But, to us, anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance, alone or together, we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing. | 203 |
Princess Diana | I don't even know how to use a parking meter, let alone a phone box. | 204 |
Robert Mugabe | I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone. We say no to whites owning our land, and they should go... They can own companies and apartments... but not the soil. It is ours, and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States. | 204 |
Richard P. Feynman | In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved, and this cannot be worked out from, 'If I do this, what will happen?' alone. | 204 |
Alejandro Jodorowsky | When I was a young person I went to the university and I learned a rational language, to think with the left side of the brain. But in the right side of the brain you have intuition and imagination. Words are not the truth; they indicate the way to go, but you need to go alone, in silence. Symbols have a language that kills the words. | 204 |
Edward Gibbon | I was never less alone than when by myself. | 204 |
Hope Solo | I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person. | 204 |
Charles Spurgeon | Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace. | 205 |
John Locke | To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality. | 205 |
Martin Luther | Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying. | 205 |
Taylor Swift | Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That's the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing. | 205 |
Henri Nouwen | Solitude is very different from a 'time-out' from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows. Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places where we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other. | 205 |
Rudyard Kipling | Down to Gehenna, or up to the Throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone. | 205 |
Alicia Keys | If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom. | 205 |
Tom Brady | When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web. | 205 |
John Dryden | Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone. | 205 |
Tom Hanks | As a young man, even if I was going to see a play or a film by myself, I didn't feel like I was alone. There was something that was unfolding up there that brought me into it. And I recognised that. For those two hours, it made me feel like I belonged to something really good. | 206 |
Jonathan Sacks | Britain, relative to the U.S., is a highly secular society. Philanthropy alone cannot fill the gap left by government cutbacks. And the sources of altruism go deep into our evolutionary past. | 206 |
Clint Eastwood | I mean, I've always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else's hair. | 207 |
Deepak Chopra | Victims always feel alone and helpless. | 207 |
H. P. Lovecraft | It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests. | 207 |
Alexander Pope | Health consists with temperance alone. | 207 |
Ellen G. White | Love exercised while duty is neglected will make children headstrong, willful, perverse, selfish, and disobedient. If stern duty is left to stand alone without love to soften and win, it will have a similar result. Duty and love must be blended in order that children may be properly disciplined. | 207 |
Elie Wiesel | Look, if I were alone in the world, I would have the right to choose despair, solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone. | 208 |
Virginia Woolf | Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame. | 208 |
William Butler Yeats | The light of lights looks always on the motive, not the deed, the shadow of shadows on the deed alone. | 208 |
Joyce Meyer | When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem. | 208 |
Alice Walker | In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you've become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that's the height of intelligence. | 208 |
Jim Carrey | I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing. | 208 |
James Madison | To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression. | 209 |
Michelangelo | The best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself. | 209 |
Gertrude Stein | When they are alone they want to be with others, and when they are with others they want to be alone. After all, human beings are like that. | 209 |
Eleanor Roosevelt | Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both. | 210 |
Martin Luther | Blood alone moves the wheels of history. | 210 |
Richard Dawkins | Secularism is categorically not saying that the religious may not speak out publicly or have a say in public life. It is about saying that religion alone should not confer a privileged say in public life, or greater influence on it. It really is as simple as that. | 210 |
Joyce Meyer | Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things. | 210 |
Charles Caleb Colton | He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are. | 210 |
William Butler Yeats | You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland's history in their lineaments trace; think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends. | 211 |
Thomas Fuller | Better be alone than in bad company. | 211 |
George Carlin | If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. | 212 |
Gloria Steinem | The surest way to be alone is to get married. | 212 |
Napoleon Hill | Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true. | 212 |
Steve Martin | Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I've never played with a band. I've always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn. | 212 |
Ban Ki-moon | Personally, I do not know whether humankind is alone in this vast universe. But I do know that we should cherish our existence on this precious speck of matter... the greatest gift that could be bestowed upon us. For all practical purposes, there is only one planet Earth. | 212 |
Mitt Romney | Even though I love solar and love wind, like most people do, I like the renewable sources, they alone are not going to get America energy independent. | 212 |
Charlie Chaplin | Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone. | 213 |
Calvin Coolidge | No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist. | 213 |
Alanis Morissette | When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman. | 213 |
Elie Wiesel | Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems. | 214 |
Charles Stanley | The time you spend alone with God will transform your character and increase your devotion. Then your integrity and godly behavior in an unbelieving world will make others long to know the Lord. | 214 |
Jim Carrey | My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time. | 214 |
Yoko Ono | A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. | 214 |
Saint Teresa of Avila | While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of its good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue. | 215 |
Sigmund Freud | Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone. | 215 |
Aung San Suu Kyi | I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own. | 215 |
Jennifer Aniston | I love clothes, but I don't know what to put on myself, let alone others. I have a lot of help getting dressed. | 215 |
Tori Amos | If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone. | 215 |
James Madison | A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people. | 216 |
Ernest Hemingway | You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or, rather, you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love. | 217 |
Margaret Thatcher | If... many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made. | 217 |

Ellen G. White | The perfection of Christian character depends wholly upon the grace and strength found alone in God. | 217 |

Eric Hoffer | Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. | 219 |
Martha Beck | No one else can take risks for us, or face our losses on our behalf, or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows, and when death comes, we meet it alone. | 219 |
Maya Angelou | We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders. | 220 |
Franz Kafka | It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet. | 220 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone. | 221 |
Muhammad Iqbal | Inductive reason, which alone makes man master of his environment, is an achievement; and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge. | 221 |
Noam Chomsky | The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor led to many very good things. If you follow the trail, it led to kicking Europeans out of Asia - that saved tens of millions of lives in India alone. | 222 |
Buddha | Of those beings who live in ignorance, shut up and confined, as it were, in an egg, I have first broken the eggshell of ignorance and alone in the universe obtained the most exalted, universal Buddhahood. | 223 |
Ayn Rand | Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone. | 223 |
Pope Francis | Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing - not only by our words - that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history. | 223 |
Anne Lamott | Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you. | 223 |

Horace | Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone. | 225 |
Marianne Williamson | The mortal mind alone cannot devise an answer to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because the true answer lies on a level of consciousness that's beyond our mortal thinking. Quite simply, when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians, we need a miracle. | 225 |

Arthur Schopenhauer | Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal. | 304 |
Albert Camus | The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone. | 309 |
Maya Angelou | Politicians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone. | 311 |

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them. | 316 |
Stephen Hawking | To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like. | 318 |

Lord Byron | Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone. | 320 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | It was unthinkable not long ago that a biologist or paleontologist would be at the same conference as an astrophysicist. Now we have accumulated so much data in each of these branches of science as it relates to origins that we have learned that no one discipline can answer questions of origins alone. | 320 |
Confucius | Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. | 321 |
Robert Frost | I alone of English writers have consciously set myself to make music out of what I may call the sound of sense. | 322 |

Benjamin Franklin | To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly. | 326 |
Marilyn Monroe | Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night.

I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either. | 401 |
John F. Kennedy | I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. | 402 |
Thomas Jefferson | Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. | 403 |
Wayne Dyer | I know that I came into the world with what I call 'big dharma' - with a blueprint to teach self-reliance and a positive loving approach to large numbers of people all over the globe. I am ever so grateful for the circumstances of my life that allowed me to be pretty much left alone and to develop as I was so intended in this incarnation. | 404 |
Maya Angelou | Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else. | 405 |
Ralph Waldo Emerson | Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man. | 406 |
P. J. O'Rourke | I think the Baby Boom does have a tendency to get its nose in everything. The Greatest Generation had a better tendency to leave people alone. Of course, they also had a better tendency to hate everybody's guts. | 406 |
Samuel Johnson | If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair. | 406 |

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own. | 501 |

Marilyn Monroe | A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself. | 505 |
