Lonely Quotations

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.
Erma Bombeck

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
