Tatjana PatitzSometimes I get lonely, but it's nice to be alone.101
Clifford D. SimakWhat 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

Jon TesterMontanans 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.

Saint Teresa of AvilaMental 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.

Herman HesseAs a body everyone is single, as a soul never. 102
Jennifer LopezI'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.

Fefe DobsonThe 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 TorresIt'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

Jill SolowayWhen 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...

Kenko YoshidaTo 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 GrannisI've loved singing since forever.

Ashley JuddWhen 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 WeirI'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 AbaniSometimes 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. HarburgLeave the atom alone.102
Edmund BartonThe 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 StewardMy 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 LawrenceNo 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 MikesAn Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.102
James LaffertyThe picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.102
James WhistlerWork alone will efface the footsteps of work.102
Markus ZusakI 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 DouglasI am convinced that living in an enclave shapes the personality, and living alone shapes the personality too.102
Melissa RosenbergWith '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 HobanSometimes 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 MeagherA good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation.102
Aditi ShankardassTo 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 LiguoriAcquire 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 AdamsYou aren't going to leave me alone are you?102
Giuseppe VerdiI 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 WilcoxAnother 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 FennIn 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 LercheI 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 ApplebyGetting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to.102
Susan PowterVery few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone.102
Thomas KuhnCrisis 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 LoneI really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me.102
Mark RylanceThere have been more books alone written about Hamlet than have been written about the Bible.102
Monica KeenaI look really young. I always get carded at bars. No one believes that I'm over 18, let alone over 21.102
Subcomandante MarcosThe 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 GericaultWith the brush we merely tint, while the imagination alone produces colour.102
Alicia CoppolaMy 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 WilliamsI remember being alone a lot as a child, and I still love to be alone.102
Jason David FrankI try to motivate people and inspire them, to let them know that they're not alone.102
Maxine KuminThe 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 ChaviraI 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 BatemanI 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 TarlovUnderstand 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 MelloIt 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 ChiracOne can go to war alone, but you can't build peace alone.102
Justin LongIf you can measure success in this business based on happiness alone I feel like I've hit the lottery.102
Judith KrantzOn 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 WilliamsI 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 LarsonI 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-shekDemocracy 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 SeattleWhen 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 WallaceThis is nourishing, redemptive; we become less alone inside.103
Elizabeth EdwardsYou 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 AppleWhen 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. LichtenbergWe 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 BanksI live to hail that season by gifted one foretold, when men shall live by reason, and not alone by gold.103
George MullerThrough 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 CoppolaNow that I'm older, I have a much better appreciation of nature, and I love being alone.103
Ginni RomettyToday 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 AllredI'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 CavillMy version of Superman is essentially of a guy who has spent his whole life alone.103
Isabella BirdThe 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. LangYou have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.103
Karl JaspersThe 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 ReevesWhen the people you love are gone, you're alone.103
Krista TippettIntelligence 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'AmourNo 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 ImbrugliaI 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 SidhuYou can't play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it.103
Neil DiamondI'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 EphronThe 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 MartinezAnd 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 HenryWe 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 AvedonI hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone.103
Saint AmbroseMany 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. JeromeMarriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.103
Vic FuentesWhen 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 ThomsonLet your mind alone, and see what happens. 103
Walter KirnA 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 LawThis, 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 MacLeishJournalism 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 SanghiWriting 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 WhittonMan cannot live by incompetence alone.103
Donella MeadowsBiodiversity 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 HamillI 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 GaborI'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.103
Federica MontsenyThe struggle is so great that the triumph over fascism alone is worth the sacrifice of our lives.103
Florida Scott-MaxwellMy 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 TurnerThere 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 WeavingWe're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely.103
Jeff MillerIn 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 SaltzThere'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 WestWriting 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 BergerAutobiography begins with a sense of being alone. It is an orphan form.103
Karin SlaughterI'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 SchaalI 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 GustonPainting 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 GoodkindYour life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.103
Allison WilliamsOne 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 JacquesI 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 ParnellYou must show him, by leaving him severely alone.103
Dave FrancoFor 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 KanawaWhen 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 LondonIs 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 JianI 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 SangerWoman 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 SkousenOne 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 StuntSo 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 ChboskyIf 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 WojcickiI 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 PavlovaNo one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.103
Ernest LawrenceThe 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 BeckerStill, intuitive assumptions about behavior is only the starting point of systematic analysis, for alone they do not yield many interesting implications.103
George Edward MooreThe 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 PerssonRemember, the burden of sorrow is doubled when it is borne alone.103
Thomas Love PeacockNot 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 CochraneAs 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 BarbauldWe neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone?103
Charles StuddDavid - 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 ArmstrongI 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 SchwartzmanI 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 LavaterTrust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers.103
Amy LowellI 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. HermanMillions 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 BrowneNo matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.103
James DouglasIt 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 DeaverWhen you work alone, you need to socialize at some level.103
Joseph RouxSolitude vivifies; isolation kills.103
Rachel Lambert MellonI 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 RhimesI actually like being alone. I spend most evenings reading and taking long baths.103
Jim BakkerYou can't fake it when you're alone with God, you know.103
Jean Craighead GeorgeMost 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 LynchPressure is an emotional paralysis. It's hard enough to do the dishes when you're feeling pressured, let alone make a movie.103
Jonathan FridI'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 JouleBelieving 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 FrankThe 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 SpinozaHe alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason.104
Frida KahloI paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best. 104
Toni MorrisonYou need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone.104
A. P. J. Abdul KalamLook 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 McCandlessI 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. BaldwinThe 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 OslerTo have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.104
Anne Morrow LindberghI 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 FugardNight-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 FreemanI think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.104
Charles StanleyWe 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 RichOne of the most persistent cultural tics of the early 21st century is Americans' reluctance to absorb, let alone prepare for, bad news.104
Freya StarkTo awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.104
Gisele BundchenWhen 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 BabangidaThe 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 AzaleaI 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 AdamsAlways vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.104
John WesleyGive 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. LangLife 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 BushThe 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 SterneIn solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.104
Lena HeadeyI 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 DjokovicI'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. HenryIf men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.104
ParacelsusHowever, 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 TillichMan's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.104
Pope John XXIIIThe true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but in mutual trust alone.104
Sarah SilvermanI 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 HoggartI 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 PressfieldAs 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 HeyerdahlI 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 WilderBut 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 MarshallIf 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 HoustonI finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.104
William DunbarAll love is lost but upon God alone.104
Zooey DeschanelI 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 BurroughsThe 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 TrotterSometimes 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 ValeraMr. Churchill is proud of Britain's stand alone, after France had fallen and before America entered the War.104
Friedensreich HundertwasserWhen we dream alone it is only a dream, but when many dream together it is the beginning of a new reality.104
J. G. BallardI 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 BergerThat 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 AudubonThe 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 OatesFor 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 LiebknechtBut Socialism, alone, can bring self-determination of their peoples.104
Laurie HelgoeThe 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 SendakI 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'RourkeBut 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 RiversI felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan.104
Phyllis McGinleySisters 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 BlatterFIFA'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 GabbanaI 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. AbramsI try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.104
Marvin SappMarvin'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 JonesI 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 McMillanYou know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.104
Alfred EisenstaedtI don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough.104
Edwin Way TealeTime and space - time to be alone, space to move about - these may well become the great scarcities of tomorrow.104
John BarrymoreIn Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone; but sometimes it is a great relief.104
John OlverThe 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 NeugebauerThe 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 AurobindoIndia 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 BarbauldWhen 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 RiefenstahlThe 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 SchneiderPeople 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 CarrollFor an adult, eating alone at McDonald's is admitting a kind of defeat.104
Roy OrbisonOnly the lonely know the way I feel tonight.104
James EllroyI 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 ChapmanBenevolence 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 HepburnFor 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 AnnanThe Lord had the wonderful advantage of being able to work alone.105
P. T. BarnumMen, 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 ScottEach 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 KnappOn 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 JosephWe 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 RonaldoIn 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 RatherBut 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 ThomasGo 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 HalenI'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 HillI 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 MarcosLeadership 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 GershwinAll 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 AaronThe 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 KlumWhat 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 AdamsThe progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.105
Irving PennUsing simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.105
Jeremy BenthamNature 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 FosterAs 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 MansfieldIt'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 JaggerThank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.105
Octavio PazSelf-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. KellyI 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 NiebuhrNothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love. 105
Sandra Day O'ConnorWe 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 YoungThe 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 KirnThe strange anthropological lesson of social media is that human beings, if given a choice, often prefer to socialize alone.105
Winona RyderWeird 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
BoethiusA man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.105
Bruce BartonIt 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 SapirHuman 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. JeromeWe 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 ShriverNo 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 SwetchineStrength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished.105
Emily CarrYou 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 MillsThere'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 CorrieWe 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 LacyYou can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.105
Adrienne BailonI'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 SummerBut 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 RemarqueA hospital alone shows what war is.105
Morgan WoottenIt'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 PeggThere's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you.105
Andrew EldritchPostmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.105
Michael ZaslowPeople 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 DesaiTherefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.105
John WebsterEagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.105
Josie MaranLuckily, 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 MussoliniWar 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 McCandlessNo 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 PragerUnhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists.106
Ali ibn Abi TalibLet me alone, and go in search of someone else.106
Ban Ki-moonGrave 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 IdolIt 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 BlanchettThere 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 LoveI'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. WilsonYou 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 YoungBy all means use some time to be alone.106
George StraitI 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 BrundtlandToday 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 KlimtWhoever 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 BloomBut 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 NelsonLet 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 TurgenevIn 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 BarthReligion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.106
Liberty Hyde BaileyWhen the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself.106
Peter SingerI don't think nationalism is alone holding the field; it's in contention with a lot of different things.106
Randy PauschYou 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 PryorI think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.106
Rosa LuxemburgSocial 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 BankheadI 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 TchividjianThe gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage.106
William BlackstoneMen was formed for society, and is neither capable of living alone, nor has the courage to do it.106
Anne BronteIf 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 ArgentoI 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 BowenJealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.106
Graham CoxonA 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 TaylorA 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 EddyHappiness 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. KennedyIn 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 McLachlanI'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 WiseFor 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 SpellingSometimes, 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
BanksA 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-StraussJust 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 MitchellI feel so good after a workout. Any time you can be alone with yourself is really important.106
Edwin MarkhamThere 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 JekyllIn 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 NewsonYeah, 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 CabotThis is how many people become artists, musicians, writers, computer programmers, record-holding athletes, scientists... by spending time alone practicing what they love.106
Tony BuzanChildren 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 BraunGlobal 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 BronowskiEvery animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created.106
Jason SchwartzmanMan, 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 LowellMoon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and drench me in loneliness.106
M. F. HusainI 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 JulyI 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 EllulThe Holy Spirit alone can do this, the Holy Spirit alone can establish this link with one's neighbor.106
Marilyn MonroeIt's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far. 107
Phil McGrawYou're only lonely if you're not there for you.107
Booker T. WashingtonAssociate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. 107
Demetri MartinI think it's interesting that 'cologne' rhymes with 'alone.'107
Ravi ZachariasOnly 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 SivanandaThere is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.107
Amanda SeyfriedWe 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. ClarkeSometimes 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 GracianHe that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.107
Chris PineMusical 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 PalahniukWhy is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?107
Cristiano RonaldoI don't like being alone.107
Elizabeth II would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.107
Gabriel IglesiasI never go perform somewhere alone. I've done that since day one. I've always taken other comics with me.107
Louie GohmertI 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 LakshmiIn 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 MaharshiIf 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. PirsigEven in the presence of others he was completely alone.107
Sandra Day O'ConnorIt 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 MillerAs I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone. 107
William O. DouglasThe right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms.107
Zooey DeschanelAlways the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.107
Ashwin SanghiI 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 FeilerThe 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 CodyI 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 PageI love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.107
Jefferson DavisAll we ask is to be let alone.107
John ClaytonBetween 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 HamiltonWithout 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 HoodSince 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 FroudeWe enter the world alone, we leave the world alone.107
Jimmy DuranteWhy can't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone.107
Joyce MaynardTo share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it.107
Jeremy GranthamYou can't run the economy on BMWs alone. If the average person is in a pickle, how do you have a healthy economy?107
Helen KellerAlone we can do so little; together we can do so much. 108
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThis is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.108
Richard BransonThe 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 LordeI can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?108
Lady GagaI 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 ProustIt 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. HeinleinI 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 RoyIn 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 RicklesWhen you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.108
Frank AbagnaleThe front of a cheque alone gives someone enough information to steal your identity.108
Gail CollinsYou 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 MullerI 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 CanfieldRemember, 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 RoganI 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 StanfordThe 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 DiCaprioI 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
Ludwig van BeethovenRecommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.108
Menachem Mendel SchneersonSo 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 MyhrvoldAnybody 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 LevantSchizophrenia beats dining alone.108
Paramahansa YoganandaThe 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 OswaltI can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast.108
Thomas WolfeIn 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

Yoko OnoBeing alone is very difficult.108
Ben HarperWhen 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 CaddyA human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.108
Grace JonesI don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.108

Richard LinklaterSomething about Texas I'm not proud of is that our state murdered 37 people last year alone.108
Thomas de QuinceySolitude, 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 MannesFor 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 BashirMuslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.108
John Boyle O'ReillyPrize-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 GublerI 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 GuyYoung 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 NietzscheThe doer alone learneth. 109
Gilbert K. ChestertonMan 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 LimaI'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 PorchiaHe who does not fill his world with phantoms remains alone.109
Billy ConnollyNever trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on.109
Britney SpearsI'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 MoranI 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
EstelleYou can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.109
Gene SimmonsI'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 CollinsGay 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 AdamsIt is easier to win than to fail. Everybody sides with the winner. But the failure walks alone.109
Jeff BuckleyMusic 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 WesleyI 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. WodehouseGolf... 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 TillichOur 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 SontagVolume depends precisely on the writer's having been able to sit in a room every day, year after year, alone.109

Yves Saint LaurentI'm so secluded. Very alone.109
Dada VaswaniPeople 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 ZatopekThe athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.109
Joel EdgertonI'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.109

Laurieann GibsonI 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 KahaneThe Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies.109
Russell BakerThose 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 BrowneBe able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself.109
AkhenatonSay 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 SmileyI 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 LanierStyle 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 MooreWhen I was growing up, the place I felt least alone was when I was reading.109
Steve LacyI'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 WojcickiI 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 PhoenixIt's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.109
Joe BastianichNo 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-LevittIf you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.109
Shannen DohertyFor 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 WashingtonIt is better to be alone than in bad company. 110
Iyanla VanzantI 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 BukowskiI would be married, but I'd have no wife, I would be married to a single life.110
Rudyard KiplingHe travels the fastest who travels alone.110
Christy TurlingtonI tried acupuncture, the patch, and hypnosis, but found that I needed to do it alone - when the time was right for me.110
Evelyn WaughYour actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.110
Fiona AppleI 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 NorquistLook, 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

Johnny CarsonTalent 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 HazlittLove turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust; hatred alone is immortal.110
Maurice MaeterlinckWe are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them.110
May SartonIn the country of pain we are each alone.110
Mehmet OzIn 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 MorascaI 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 LavaterYou 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 MusilAll 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

Martin LutherOur Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. 111
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinLove 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 HobbesThe 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 PoehlerImprovisation 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 AbbeyOne man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.111
Elayne BooslerI know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone.111

Guru NanakOffspring, 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. HumphreyThis, 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 DeanBeing 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 FosterIt'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 LasseterThe 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

Octavia ButlerI'm very happy alone.111
Pearl S. BuckLove alone could waken love.111
Philip ZimbardoWhat 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 PaytonRunning alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself.111
Wendell BerryWe 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 SegerI 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 ShieldsI 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 KahaneFor 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 HumeBelief 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. KissingerA leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.112
Martin LutherGod writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.112
Nigel FaragePerhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now, let alone any more, is well known.112
Charles BukowskiShow 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 WilliamsWe are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.112
Friedrich SchillerThe strong man is strongest when alone.112
Henry B. EyringWe 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 BurroughsIf 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 BakerI 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

Brian O'DriscollMy missus knows to leave me alone.112
Josh McDowellWhile 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 HorneI'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 HeldCostumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.112
Sam AbellPhotography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.112
Shane WarneWe'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 PilkingtonPeople 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

Tennessee WilliamsWhen so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.113
Zig ZiglarIt is true that integrity alone won't make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.113
Bobby FlayMy 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 KnappHappy and alone, you say? Reclusive and merry? How oxymoronic! Pas possible! Alas, the concept is lost on so many.113
Charles StanleyToo 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 MoranI 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 ErwittMost photographers work best alone, myself included.113
Halle BerryI'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
Harry Emerson FosdickPicture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.113
Jean de la BruyereAll men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.113
Joe RoganThe only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.113
Kendall JennerSometimes 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 SterneI 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 LewisI have my best ideas when I am alone.113
Lily TomlinRemember we're all in this alone.113
Louis D. BrandeisFear 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 WoodI couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me.113
Olga KurylenkoI 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 DaviesShould 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. BuckInside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.113
Richard PryorI 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 HardyIf Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.113
Tom FordI 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 SweeneyWe 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 BowenThere is no end to the violations committed by children on children, quietly talking alone.113
Tahar Ben JellounPeople 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 BurchillAs 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 MertonWe 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 LydonYou 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 LevineI'm fiercely independent, but I'm also terrified of being alone.114
Charles Caleb ColtonTo 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 PadukoneI 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-EazyI 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 MarquezI 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 GreerEven crushed against his brother in the Tube the average Englishman pretends desperately that he is alone.114
Hope SoloI like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person. I'm sorry.114
Liam GallagherShe can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book.114
Stevie NicksMost 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 PostrelWhen '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 DumasHe 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 BasuAs 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 RenardThere are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.114
Jeanette WintersonI live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.114
Jodi PicoultI 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 ChanelFashion 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 WestwoodThe 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 CashI'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.115
Tim BurtonI think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.115
William OslerObserve, 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 LindberghIs 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. EyringWe 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 JoplinOn stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.115
Judy GarlandYou 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 SamuelssonWe 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
ParacelsusOnce 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 NadalBeing 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 MacaulayThe 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 CarlyleNone of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.115
Thornton WilderThe more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.115

Jesus ChristMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.116
Martin LutherGrant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.116
bell hooksI 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 ElkNow 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 AckermanI'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 JongSolitude is un-American.116
Gerald R. FordI would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.116
Henry B. EyringIt 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
HeraclitusChange alone is unchanging.116
James E. FaustEver 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 MonroeThe 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 BlackYou'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 CooleyThe lonely become either thoughtful or empty. 116
Mortimer AdlerUnless we love and are loved, each of us is alone, each of us is deeply lonely.116
Paul McCartneyIt's time to end the cruel slaughter of whales and leave these magnificent creatures alone.116
Roger EbertBut 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 DillardPeople 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 PasternakAt the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.116
John IrvingI'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 PerryI 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 JohnsonGive 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 PiperWhen 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 ChanThe 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 WashingtonAssociate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.117
Marilyn MonroeI restore myself when I'm alone. 117
Wayne DyerYou cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. 117
Bertolt BrechtThe 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 MurrayWe'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 TaylorSo 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 HesseSolitude is independence. 117
Jean de la BruyereAll of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.117
Mary OliverI very much wished not to be noticed, and to be left alone, and I sort of succeeded.117
Octavio PazSolitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.117
Peter YorkWhen 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
QuintilianForbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire.117
Robin S. SharmaThe 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 GeorgeIn 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 McGrawIt's better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.118
Alfred Lord TennysonSelf-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.118
ChanakyaA 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 BehanThe 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 PaveseA 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. WilsonIf 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 FrancoI still don't like going to bed alone.118
Joe RoganWe'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 IqbalIt 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
QuintilianAs 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 ScullyI don't like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I'm alone with a good book.118
John IrvingAnd 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 GaulleDeliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.119
Isaac NewtonIn the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence. 119
Kurt VonnegutStill 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 HavelThe attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it.119
Jane AustenWoman 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 ZedongThe people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.119
Michel de MontaigneThere 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 GracianBetter mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.119
E. O. WilsonIf 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 NelsonOur country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.119
Jeff BridgesFor 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 RoheSimply 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 DillardBuddhism notes that it is always a mistake to think your soul can go it alone.119
Audrey HepburnI don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone. 120
Jean-Jacques RousseauPlant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.120
Rene DescartesThe two operations of our understanding, intuition and deduction, on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.120
MichelangeloThe 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 WhiteheadWisdom 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 GuevaraRemember that the revolution is what is important, and each one of us, alone, is worth nothing.120
Dorothy DayMen 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 HumeThis avidity alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal, and directly destructive of society.121
Franz KafkaSensual 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 HooverWithin 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 LindberghGrief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.121
Claire DanesI 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 GarboI want to be alone.121
Lana Del ReyI 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 HeideggerThe 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 ReaganIt is true that when you're in the White House alone, it is a lonely place. Big and lonely.121
Sandra Day O'ConnorYes, I will bring the understanding of a woman to the Court, but I doubt that alone will affect my decisions.121
Sophia LorenWhen 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 AmosI have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely. 121
Jeanne MoreauI 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 MonroeIt'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 PratchettIt 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 NouwenPeople 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. BednarTestimony 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 WahlbergI 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 TherouxBecause 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. SeussYou can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.123
Salvador DaliIt 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 HubbardOften 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 StantonWe 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 MadisonI 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 LindberghCertain 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 AckermanThe 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 MannEducation alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.123
Paul CezanneI have nothing to hide in art. The initial force alone can bring anyone to the end he must attain.123
will.i.amMost 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 AndresA lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don't get it.123
Justin TimberlakeThe 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 BoisOne 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 CarterTesting oneself is best when done alone.124
Chuck PalahniukPeople used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone.124
Daisaku IkedaNo one should be left to suffer alone.124
Golda MeirI never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.124
Mos DefAnd remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.124
Orison Swett MardenThe 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
RamakrishnaWork, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.124
Alan MooreArt makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.124
Paula AbdulI'm happily single.124
Dolly PartonMy 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 BukowskiWe'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 MartinI 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 LindberghHow one hates to think of oneself as alone. How one avoids it. It seems to imply rejection or unpopularity.125
Douglas RushkoffOccupy 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 BaduNo one chooses to raise children alone.125
Martha BeckAbsolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.125
Nicolas CageI 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 DahlWhen 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 WeilWe 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 SchopenhauerTo live alone is the fate of all great souls. 126
Baruch SpinozaOnly that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.126
Stephen HawkingThe 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 JolieBreast 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 NicholsonEarly 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 MardenNo 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 ObamaWe'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 HepburnI 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 NewtonThe motions which the planets now have could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.201
RumiHowever 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 MartinI 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 RilkeI want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.201
Sarah PalinWell, 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 SwiftI 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 MardenNothing 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 ShatnerI've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.202
John MuirTake 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 TolstoyIn 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 ChekhovWe learn about life not from plusses alone, but from minuses as well.203
Elizabeth GilbertI 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 HubbardNo 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 CooleyLiving alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.203
Seth ShostakThe 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. BurroughsYou must learn to exist with no religion, no country, no allies. You must learn to live alone in silence.203
Ziggy MarleyI 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 RostandTo be adult is to be alone.203
Jerry SaltzProbably 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 DianaI don't even know how to use a parking meter, let alone a phone box.204
Robert MugabeI 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. FeynmanIn 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 JodorowskyWhen 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 GibbonI was never less alone than when by myself.204
Hope SoloI like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.204
Charles SpurgeonSaving 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 LockeTo 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 LutherEvery man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying. 205
Taylor SwiftSitting 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 NouwenSolitude 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 KiplingDown to Gehenna, or up to the Throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone.205
Alicia KeysIf 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 BradyWhen you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.205
John DrydenReason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.205
Tom HanksAs 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 SacksBritain, 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 EastwoodI 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 ChopraVictims always feel alone and helpless.207
H. P. LovecraftIt 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 PopeHealth consists with temperance alone.207
Ellen G. WhiteLove 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 WieselLook, 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 WoolfRigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.208
William Butler YeatsThe light of lights looks always on the motive, not the deed, the shadow of shadows on the deed alone.208
Joyce MeyerWhen 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 WalkerIn 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 CarreyI 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 MadisonTo 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
MichelangeloThe best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself.209
Gertrude SteinWhen 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 RooseveltJustice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both. 210
Martin LutherBlood alone moves the wheels of history.210
Richard DawkinsSecularism 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 MeyerGetting 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 ColtonHe who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are.210
William Butler YeatsYou 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 FullerBetter be alone than in bad company.211
George CarlinIf 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 SteinemThe surest way to be alone is to get married.212
Napoleon HillMan, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.212
Steve MartinThroughout 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-moonPersonally, 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 RomneyEven 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 ChaplinLife could be wonderful if people would leave you alone. 213
Calvin CoolidgeNo 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 MorissetteWhen 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 WieselHuman beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.214
Charles StanleyThe 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 CarreyMy 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 OnoA dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.214
Saint Teresa of AvilaWhile 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 FreudJust 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 KyiI think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.215
Jennifer AnistonI 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 AmosIf I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.215
James MadisonA well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.216
Ernest HemingwayYou 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

Maya AngelouInformation 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
