“There are two essential kinds of loneliness: that of not having found someone to love, and that of having been deprived of the one you did love. The first kind is worse. Nothing can compare to the loneliness of the soul in adolescence.”

“Novelty is a new kind of loneliness.”

“People cannot win against their loneliness because loneliness is this world’s worst kind of pain.”

“One can experience loneliness in two ways: by feeling lonely in the world or by feeling the loneliness of the world.”

“If you don't need it, then
it is useless to be compassionate.
If it's important then
it will probably be followed with pain.
Loneliness that you feel with someone is worse
than one you feel
alone.”

“Loneliness is a kind of prison.
[Vincent Van Gogh]”

“I felt the kind of loneliness that can happen in a roomful of people when everyone but you seems to be in on the good time.”

“I did not love you out or boredom or loneliness or caprice. I loved you because the desire for you was stronger than any happiness.”

“We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.”

“I loved this woman the way you love… well, nothing," he said, a note of suprise in his voice. "You can’t compare that kind of love to anything, can you? It’s its own unique gift.”
