Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Too much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.
Acting is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found.
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.
It's a terrible thing to be alone -- yes it is -- it is -- but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath --as terrible as you like --but a mask.
We are all born alone and die alone. The loneliness is definitely part of the journey of life.
Sometimes I get real lonely sleeping with you.
That's the strangest thing about this life, about being in the ministry. People change the subject when they see you coming. And then sometimes those very same people come into your study and tell you the most remarkable things. There's a lot under the surface of life, everyone knows that. A lot of malice and dread and guilt, and so much loneliness, where you wouldn't really expect to find it, either.
I have lived a short time without a future, completely lost - never alone, but very lost. We say in bad times that it's happening for a reason, perhaps - because it makes us feel better - to give times of strife a higher purpose, even if we find it hard to believe.
It's only natural to feel lonely after the enjoyable moments pass. But as you experience new joys those feelings of sorrow will start to fade.
Novelty is a new kind of loneliness.
I've chosen a life that's so different from everybody else's that it cuts me off from them. Practically everybody I know treats me like a guest celebrity. Of course it's my own fault. I feel so damn alone sometimes, I feel like I could just float away into the stratosphere and everybody would stand there looking up at me and not one would haul me back down to earth. No ropes.
Mostly I have felt myself becoming a servant of sadness. I am still looking for the beauty in that.
This morning could have been perfect. The cruel truth is they have never been. Give us loneliness or give us death.
Like you're riding a train at night across some vast plain, and youcatch a glimpse of a tiny light in a window of a farmhouse. In aninstant it's sucked back into the darkness behind and vanishes. Butif you close your eyes, that point of light stays with you, justbarely for a few moments.
The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence
When you're young, you think it's going to be solved by love. But it never is. Being close-as close as you can get-to another person only makes it clear the impassable distance between you.
Man cries, his tears dry up and run out. So he becomes a devil, reduced to a monster.
