Loneliness Quotes Quotes

“There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship's, smooths and contains the rocker. It's an inside kind--wrapped tight like skin. Then there is the loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive. On its own. A dry and spreading thing that makes the sound of one's own feet going seem to come from a far-off place.”

― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice

“With loneliness and solitude comes a peaceful sense of Self that has been much misunderstood, for we are not genuinely alone when with our Self only.

We are, however,
when we are not seen or heard while surrounded by people,
when we are not understood and hence dismissed by those we care to communicate with,
and when we cease to exist to our date or friend(s) or family members the time it gets them to focus on incoming messages and calls.

A heavy feeling engulfs us then and every time like a dark cloud and makes us ache to be back home to our more friendly solitude.”
