Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.
It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore.
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
In my isolation I can grow stronger. Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting.
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
