Solitary Quotations
The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
Buddha
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
Winston Churchill
If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.
Maya Angelou
We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
Jim Morrison
It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz Kafka
Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
Virginia Woolf
We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.
Tennessee Williams
The interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own, serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The task of the solitary man is to be even more solitary.
Emile M. Cioran
