“Jason knew his life would never be the same again. British intelligence now had an ace up their sleeve, and Jason had to overcome his fears and deal with the secret world he was now a part of.
He would have to grow a tough shell around himself. Despite his many friends, his grandparents and love of his father, he was painfully aware he was very much alone in this world. When it came down to it, there was only one person he could really rely on in the world,

and he was called Jason Steed.”
Mark A. Cooper, Revenge

Sanhita Baruah
“I loved him the way some people are to be loved - from a distance.”
Sanhita Baruah

Sanhita Baruah
“Sometimes it's your fragrance that comes to me, out of the blue, on a crowded road in a Sunday afternoon.
But more often, it's memories of us that cross my mind almost every lone evening.
All I want is to lessen the pain I feel every night.

But every morning I wake up is another day, hopeless and miserable, with nothing but a deafening silence, a wave of tears, memories and your absence.”
Sanhita Baruah

Charlotte Eriksson
“I used to be fine in my loneliness
but something
or someone
snapped me out of it
and showed me company. What it’s like to feel at home,
and so the going on by myself part wasn’t as easy anymore.
Seasons happened and things got colder and harder and suddenly I found myself smoking circles in the air
by myself in the snow
and I was not okay.”
Charlotte Eriksson

Henry Rollins
“They left like you knew they would. They went away and you fell like a stone. All the way to the bottom of your room. I see you, yes I see you. Sitting in your chair, hating every minute of it. Falling like a stone without even moving. It hurt you to know that you were right about all the shit you wanted to be wrong about. They always leave you. You put yourself in the right place to get left.”
Henry Rollins, The First Five

Haruki Murakami
“When I look back at myself at age twenty, what I remember most is being alone and lonely. I had no girlfriend to warm my body or my soul, no friends I could open up to. No clue what I should do every day, no vision for the future. For the most part, I remained hidden away, deep within myself. Sometimes, I'd go a week without talking to anybody.”
Haruki Murakami, Yesterday

John Fowles
“Thus it had come about that she had read far more fiction, and far more poetry, those two sanctuaries of the lonely, than most of her kind.”
John Fowles, The French Lieutenant’s Woman

Tom Wolfe
“Loneliness wasn't just a state of mind, was it? It was tactile. She could feel it. It was a sixth sense, not in some fanciful play of words, but physically. It hurt... it hurt like phagocytes devouring the white matter of her brain. It was merely that she had no friends. She didn't even have a sanctuary in which she could simply be alone.”
Tom Wolfe, I Am Charlotte Simmons

Charlotte Eriksson
“I seek the city because there is nothing sweeter than not being alone in your loneliness.”
Charlotte Eriksson

Peter Høeg
“No matter how close people get, they never reach each other. Including us now. Even now, there's a place where each of us is alone.”
Peter Høeg, The Quiet Girl

Laurell K. Hamilton, Cerulean Sins

“You are far too amazing to be someone's backup. You're someone's first choice.”
Chris Burkmenn

Katie Cotugno
“A future as lonely as the surface of the moon and still just the sight of him feels like a homecoming, like a song I used to know but forgot.”
Katie Cotugno, How to Love

Rebecca Behrens
“In some ways, I am able to feel more like a part of my family while I am missing them. It's normal to feel lonely when you are away from your loved ones, but it's queer to feel lonely while surrounded by family.”
Rebecca Behrens, When Audrey Met Alice

Santosh Kalwar
“We all are individual and lonely, like stars which appear so close but millions of miles apart.”
Santosh Kalwar, That's My Love Story

Tom Wolfe
“Loneliness wasn't just a state of mind, was it? It was tactile. She could feel it. It was a sixth sense, not in some fanciful play of words, but physically. It hurt... it hurt like phagocytes devouring the white matter of her brain. It wasn't merely that she had no friends. She didn't even have a sanctuary in which she could simply be alone.”
Tom Wolfe, I Am Charlotte Simmons

Sanhita Baruah
“There were two and only two messages that could have been comprehended by what he said.

But neither of them was soothing; neither of them was a lie.”
Sanhita Baruah

Donna Lynn Hope
“Many want to be a warrior but they don't know what a lonely, tough, or pain staking journey it is. Warriors have to fight on behalf of the defenseless, defend what is right, as well as fight believers and non-believers alike. In reality, few like warriors because they confront their own, and their own think they're above being confronted. The warrior, you see, most often walks alone.”
Donna Lynn Hope

“Like an empty bucket,
my soul rings hollow when empty
vibrates with emptiness …
hollow sound of loneliness.
Every cell in my body does
not want to be alone.
My loneliness is frightening …
an all consuming thought.”
David W Earle

“I don't think people are meant to be by themselves. That's why you actually find someone you care about. It's important to let go of the little things, even if you can't let go all the way. Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone, no matter how many people are around.”
Scrubs J.D

Molly Antopol
“But for the first time, Boaz couldn't think of a single word to describe this kind of loneliness, so scary and real it required an entirely different language, new and strange and yet to be invented”
Molly Antopol, The UnAmericans

Peter Høeg
“One should be good to oneself. Especially when one is alone.”
Peter Høeg, The Quiet Girl

“Life without love is a lonely path.”
Eveth Colley

Donna Tartt
“She was right: school was lonely. The eighteen and nineteen year olds didn't socialize with the younger kids, and though there were plenty of students my age and younger [...] their lives were so cloistered and their concerns so foolish and foreign-seeming that it was as if they spoke some lost middle-school tongue I'd forgotten. They lived at home with their parents; they worried about things like grade curves and Italian Abroad and summer internships at the UN; they freaked out if you lit a cigarette in front of them; they were earnest, well-meaning, undamaged, clueless. For all I had in common with any of them, I might as well have tried to go down and hang out with the eight year olds at PS 41.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Brian Moore
“And the bell jangled, the driver started. The bus whirled off, to the last stop, the lonely room, the lonely night.”
Brian Moore, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

Irucka Ajani Embry
“Reflecting back on the journey to the
“Great Outdoors”
places me in a different tonal mood, filled
up with hope and passion, not resentful,
suppressed relics of anger unresolved

Did you listen to the winds?
What did you hear?
Did you listen to the trees?
What knowledge did they bring you?
Did you listen to the birds?
What songs did they sing to you?
Did you listen to the Universe(s)?
What messages did they bring you?
Did you listen to the ancestors?
What hope did they send you?
Did you really listen?

Close your eyes and open up your full
heart and listen again
Not for me
Do it 4 UrSelf
Do it 4 tha Future
Look beyond UrSelf
Open up UrSelf
Love ThySelf
Quiet the chatter of your mind, close
the racing tracks and be still and
quiet so that U can hear what
they’re trying to say to U.

Be appreciative for what U have been
bestowed and blessed to be stewards of, please
do not take this to mean: Destroy, dominate,
and control.
Let it mean be cognizant of the complexity, respect true
biodiversity, respect and honor all Life, allow for balance, and
recognize evolutionary adaptability in all of Creation.

The winds are blowing good tidings and blessings
in this here direction as this one poem comes
to a close while striving for the rootedness of an
ancient Sequoia so high up in the sky and deeply rooted
in our common Mother. Listen to my woes of loneliness
and see that will Life all around, NO one is truly lonely or alone.”
Irucka Ajani Embry, Balancing the Rift: ReCONNECTualizing the Pasenture

“I am a knight riding from tower to tower seeking a princess to rescue but all the dragons are slain, the towers are empty and the princesses taken.”
