“62. A Crowd is not Company.”

“Two is company, four is a party, three is a crowd. One is a wanderer.”

“But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party”

“A crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.”

“I live in the crowd of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself.”

“Suddenly, I felt so helpless. If I hated the crowds but also my own company, where did that leave me?”

“On the approach of spring I withdraw without reluctance from the noisy and extensive scene of crowds without company, and dissipation without pleasure.”

“Marvellous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.”

“I told myself that I could soon start to relish the state of being alone […], only to find as usual that I was stuck with myself.[…] Two's company, which is bad enough in all conscience, but one's a crowd.”

“Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.”
