“He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.”– Baltasar Gracian Related Quotes “Who knows what true loneliness is – not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.”– Joseph Conrad “Many people seek fellowship because they are afraid to be alone…let him who cannot be alone beware of community. He will do harm to himself and to the community.

You cannot escape yourself, for God has singled you out.”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer “It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”– Thomas Jefferson
