It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.

Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come.

“The eagle has no liberty; he only has loneliness.” 

There is a loneliness more precious than life. There is a freedommore precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God.

Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.

I am a real lone wolf who has never wholeheartedly belonged to the State, to my country, my circle of friends and not even to my family but who, despite all these bonds, has constantly experienced a feeling of strangeness and the need for solitude.

A lonely day is God’s way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.

The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.

For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
