Being away from everyone else may be lonely, but being away from you will be even lonelier.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

It’s better to be lonely than to be with someone who makes you feel alone.

The moment you feel like you have to prove your worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

If you want to know who you are, you have to look at your real self and acknowledge what you see.

You were born an original work of art. Stay original always. Originals cost more than imitations.

The loneliness you feel with another person, the wrong person, is the loneliest of all.

If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company.

Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.

Loneliness is like a prison, where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others

Losing toxic people is a win.

Once you know your worth, no one can make you feel worthless.

Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life’s cruelest irony.
