Solitude Quotations

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Dag Hammarskjold

Henry David Thoreau

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
Henry David Thoreau

I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
Henry David Thoreau

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau
