All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
Henry David Thoreau
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Wayne Dyer
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
Mother Teresa
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Maya Angelou
We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders.

Laurence Sterne
In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

All alone!Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

Such a happy sounding song about death and suicide:
ReplyDeleteIn a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can’t be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
did u write this? and, not sure your point - I'm grappling, reading this hurts more, not less.
ReplyDeleteIt's an old Gilbert O'Sullivan song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_P-v1BVQn8
ReplyDeleteNot meant to be cruel. You posted a bunch of "alone " quotes, so I added one.
