“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”  ―  Charlotte Brontë

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”  ―  Edgar Allan Poe

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”  ―  Lois Lowry

“Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. ”  ―  Haruki Murakami

“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”  ―  John Steinbeck
