Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour she can hurt you.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.

A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.

Being alone is very difficult.

Don't go away. I don't want to be alone. I can't stand being alone.

Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves but I love me.

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.
