“Where should we go? I don’t care. Anywhere you want. Anywhere we don’t know people.”
— Ernest Hemingway Primary source“Painters, writers, musicians are lonely people. So are statesmen and admirals and generals. But then, I added to be fair, so are criminals and lunatics. Let's just say, not to be too flattering, that true Individuals are lonely.”
— Ian Fleming Primary source“People are islands,” she said. “They don’t really touch. However close they are, they’re really quite separate. Even if they’ve been married for fifty years.”
— Ian Fleming Primary source“Loneliness becomes a lover, solitude a darling sin.”
— Ian Fleming Primary source“Why, darling, I don’t live at all when I’m not with you.”
— Ernest Hemingway Primary source“I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
