Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.

People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best but after what he alone loves at all.

The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.

It's only when you're alone that you realize where you are. You have nothing to fall back on except your own resources.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt drudgery and a life of misery.

However anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening should speak to no-one but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him and he recalls the dream.

It was either Voltaire or Charlie Sheen who said 'We are born alone. We live alone. We die alone. And anything in between that can give us the illusion that we're not we cling to.'

I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that.

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.

Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.

One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.

As a child I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there I wanted to make loads of money.

The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone and if you make a mistake it's your mistake. If you hit a home run it's your home run.

Most of these people who are celebrities now don't do anything to deserve it so by that fact alone I don't want to be one.

As a young man even if I was going to see a play or a film by myself I didn't feel like I was alone. There was something that was unfolding up there that brought me into it. And I recognised that. For those two hours it made me feel like I belonged to something really good.

Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature and is determined in its actions by itself alone.
