“Where should we go? I don’t care. Anywhere you want. Anywhere we don’t know people.”
— Ernest Hemingway Primary source“Loneliness becomes a lover, solitude a darling sin.”
— 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“Why, darling, I don’t live at all when I’m not with you.”
— Ernest Hemingway Primary source“Have you felt it, too? Have you seen how your best friends love everything about you—except the things that count? And your most important is nothing to them, nothing, not even a sound they can recognize.”
— Ayn Rand 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.”
