Even if you're independent, I think you get lonely.

I think I'll be single my whole life. It's entirely possible I'm going to end up alone. Because I don't want to make any sacrifices for my own development and achieving what I want to achieve, and I don't want a family to get in the way of that.

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated.

I've always been a loner, and I've spent most of my life as a single person.

A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don't get it.

There can be problems with extended families, and it can get a little close for comfort. But for the younger generations, it's clear that this option is becoming almost as appealing as living alone.

You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

Probably nothing serious or worthwhile can be accomplished without one's willingness to be alone for sustained periods of time, which is not to say that one must live alone, obsessively.
