Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
- Dag Hammarskjold

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met?
- David Foster Wallace

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness. The remarkable thing is that the cessation of the inner dialogue marks also the end of our concern with the world around us. It is as if we noted the world and think about it only when we have to report it to ourselves.
- Eric Hoffer

I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.
- Ernest Hemingway, "A Farewell To Arms"

"Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness."
- Maya Angelou, Necheeys
