Alone Quotes

If I wish to wrest an advantage from the enemy, I must not fix my mind on that alone, but allow for the possibility of the enemy also doing some harm to me... If I wish to extricate myself from a dangerous position, I must consider not only the enemy’s ability to injure me, but also my own ability to gain an advantage over the enemy Picture Quote #1

Conscience, as a mentor, the guide and compass of every act, leads ever to happiness. When the individual can stay alone with his or her conscience and get its approval, without knowing force or specious knowledge, then he or she begins to know what real happiness is Picture Quote #1

Only on the surface of things have I ever trod the beaten path. So long as I could keep from hurting anyone else, I have lived, as completely as it was possible, the life of my choice. I have been free... I have done the work I wished to do for the sake of that work alone Picture Quote #1

What if someone hurts you with a weapon? Wait. Think it over. You probably feel angry. That’s normal. But wasn’t it the stick striking your body that hurt you? Can you be angry at the stick? Of course not. Should you be angry at the wielder of the stick? Wouldn’t it make more sense to be angry at the hatred in the mind of the stick wielder? If you think about it, isn’t the end of hatred in the world what you want most of all? Why, then, would you add to it by giving energy to your anger? After all, it will pass on its own if left alone, especially if you respond to it with compassion Picture Quote #1

If there’s 10,000 people looking at the stocks and trying to pick winners, one in 10,000 is going to score, by chance alone, a great coup, and that’s all that’s going on. It’s a game, it’s a chance operation, and people think they are doing something purposeful... but they’re really not Picture Quote #1

After decades spent in rewrite rooms surrounded by other shouting writers, I discovered that I work best alone. I like being in charge of my time, working out the problems according to my own rhythms and being able to nap. That’s a big one, the napping on demand! Picture Quote #1

I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars, and everything that is out there is what you really are Picture Quote #1

Those nights lying alone are not discontinuous with this cold hectic dawn. It is who I am Picture Quote #1

There is a desperate tendency to try to legislate artists, to try to lay down rules for their obligations to society. Just leave artists alone. If you are a true artist, you will have a very finely tuned moral mechanism Picture Quote #1

It is easier to win than to fail. Everybody sides with the winner. But the failure walks alone Picture Quote #1

I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time alone Picture Quote #1

When I’m sitting in the church alone, I can hear singing of the old people. I can hear their singing and I can hear their praying, and sometimes I hum one of their songs Picture Quote #1

Nature is the clearest source of solitude. The greatness of nature can overwhelm the insignificant chatter by which we measure most of our days. If you have the wisdom and the courage to go to nature alone, the larger rhythms, the eternal hum, will make itself known all the sooner. When you have found it, it will always be there for you. The peace without will become the peace within, and you will be able to return to it in your heart wherever you find yourself Picture Quote #1

There are few gardens that can be left alone. A few years of neglect and only the skeleton of a garden can be traced... Japanese artists working with a few stones and sand four hundred years ago achieved strangely lasting compositions. However there, too, but for the hands that have piously raked the white sand into patterns and controlled the spread of moss and lichens, little would remain Picture Quote #1

The years rolled slowly past and I found myself alone. Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, I found myself further and further from my home Picture Quote #1

I like melancholy. I like to pretend that I’m alone in the world and I’m just sort of abandoned Picture Quote #1

... on every important issue life transcends logic and it is folly to depend on reason alone Picture Quote #1

We’re really all alone. We can’t ever get inside another person’s spirit, and see the world they do. So we are alone in that sense. The only way we have to communicate feelings is through words Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I guess I am basically most comfortable when I’m alone. As a kid, I was very much a loner. I love long distance running and long distance biking. A director once pointed out that those are all very isolated exercises you do for hours at a time Picture Quote #1

I’m the most communal person that exists and a very solitary person. So I think writing is a form of getting to the community and being alone, and it’s the best of both possible worlds Picture Quote #1

I had a lot of alone time with no brothers or sisters running around, or anything. I would just sit and imagine things, all the time Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely one of those actresses who comes to a set knowing how I want to do a scene, and I definitely love input from my directors and my writers. I know that there’s some actors who like to be left alone, they like to be very independent, but I actually really enjoy the teamwork Picture Quote #1

When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got Picture Quote #1

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that the reason why my kids have become very fulfilled and achieving human beings is because I wasn’t raising them alone Picture Quote #1

So in some ways my life, my background has been isolating and I think I’m a bit more scared as a person. I don’t walk alone or in the dark. If I go out the driver will wait for me to go into the house Picture Quote #1

I can’t walk, so I can’t go home. No need to talk, cause I’m all alone. If I stay here they’re gonna lock me in, hitting the bottle again Picture Quote #1

We have not merely escaped from something but into something... We have joined the greatest of all communities, which is not that of man alone but of everything which shares with us the great adventure of being alive Picture Quote #1

I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind Picture Quote #1
