Loneliness

 “Loneliness weakens. Aloneness empowers. Aloneness makes of us something so much more than we are in the midst of others whose claim is that they know us.”

- Joyce Carol Oates from The Lost Landscape

“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is richness of self.”

- May Sarton

“The cure for loneliness is solitude.”

—Marianne Moore

 "If aloneness is inevitable, I want to believe that aloneness is what I have desired because it is happiness itself."

-Yiyun Li from 'Amongst People'

“Loneliness is personal, and it is also political. Loneliness is collective; it is a city.”

-Olivia Laing from “The Lonely City"
