We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone.

When I was growing up, the place I felt least alone was when I was reading.

What does it mean to not be alone? I've approached that question through music, technology, writing and other means.

I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.

I just have a harder time, I think, feeling close to people without self consciousness.

Being alone & actually sitting with our own thoughts can lead to such growth and realizations that are rare in our everyday busy lives.

For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me.

I am in no way different from anyone else, that my predicament, my sense of aloneness or isolation may be precisely what unites me with everyone.

Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with; its possibility is a proof for the latter.

I write to feel alone.
