Quote by -Dawn French
“I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world. The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men, all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is as a stranger to the fate of all the rest; his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind. As for the rest of his fellow citizens, he is close to them, but he does not see them; he touches them, but he does not feel them; he exists only in himself and for himself alone; and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
We can't expect a blind man to appreciate beautiful patterns or a deaf man to listen to bells and drums. And blindness and deafness are not confined to the body alone - the understanding has them, too.
Quote by -Zhuangzi
In the midst of darkness, he alone sees the dawn; in the midst of the soundless, he alone hears harmony.
Quote by -Zhuangzi

Skating alone is an art. Doing it on a substance? I don't know. That's got to be tough.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
Some nights in the midst of this loneliness I swung among the scattered stars at the end of the thin thread of faith alone.
Quote by -Wendell Berry
She began to wonder whether she would not do better to finish her life alone. What was left of life seemed unimportant.
Quote by -Willa Cather
I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.
