A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man --the one he used to be.

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Loneliness breaks the spirit.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.

One aged man -- one man -- can't fill a house.

Isolation is the sum total of wretchedness to a man.
