Mass transportation is doomed to failure in North America because a person's car is the only place where he can be alone and think.

Chief Joseph

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
Franz Kafka

Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so.
Franz Kafka

George Armstrong Custer

When I get into bed at night, I hope I don't get into it alone!

W. E. B. Du Bois

An American, a Negro... two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
W. E. B. Du Bois

When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green.
Roald Dahl

I don't even know how to use a parking meter, let alone a phone box.
Princess Diana

From Nelson county we went to Logan county to see some relatives we had there, and after staying until the middle of October, I returned alone to my home in Missouri.
Jesse James

Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine.
George Santayana

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
Theodor Geisel

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
Bertolt Brecht
