All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

Blaise Pascal

I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference.

Greta Garbo

The best part about being alone is that you really don’t have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

Justin Timberlake

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

Elbert Hubbard

Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.

Marvin J. Ashton

With all the noise, do we really see what’s going on? Does being with someone allow you to see things from a different perspective? Does sharing help? Do people relate or judge? Or do we allow people to manipulate us just to avoid confrontation? Alone the silence might become the monster that slowly climbs out and bites heads off . It can also be turned into the force for powerful and meaningful things.
