Solitary Quotes

Nobody enjoys the company of others as intensely as someone who usually avoids the company of others.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Every writer must acknowledge and be able to handle the unalterable fact that he has, in effect, given himself a life sentence in solitary confinement.

He, who dares seek God's presence, will receive His blessings and favours.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Some people think the real them is whoever they are when they're not around other people.

Garth Risk Hallberg

I was free with every road as my home. No limitations and no commitments. But then summer passed and winter came and I fell short for safety. I fell for its spell, slowly humming me to sleep, because I was tired and small, too weak to take or handle those opinions and views, attacking me from every angle. Against my art, against my self, against my very way of living. I collected my thoughts, my few possessions and built isolated walls around my values and character. I protected my own definition of beauty and success like a treasure at the bottom of the sea, for no one saw what I saw, or felt the same as I did, and so I wanted to keep to myself. You hide to protect yourself.
