Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it.“ — Charles Bukowski „To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars.“ — Ralph Waldo Emerson „True happiness is impossible without solitude…. I need solitude in my life as I need food and drink and the laughter of little children. Extravagant though it may sound, solitude is the filter of my soul. It nourishes me, and rejuvenates me. Left alone, I discovered that I keep myself good company.“ — Sophia Loren „But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.“ — Virginia Woolf „Solitude was corrupting me. I needed company and care.“ — Vladimir Nabokov „That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.“ — Paulo Coelho
