Alone Quotes (page 48)

I wanted a metamorphosis, a change to fish, to leviathan, to destroyer. I wanted the earth to open up, to swallow everything in one engulfing yawn. I wanted to see the city buried fathoms deep in the bosom of the sea. I wanted to sit in a cave and read by candlelight.

I wanted to be alone for a thousand years in order to reflect on what I had seen and heard - and in order to forget. Henry Miller

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science. Jawaharlal Nehru
We must be ready to learn from one another, not claiming that we alone possess all truth and that somehow we have a corner on God. Desmond Tutu

And it is you, spirit--with will and energy, and virtue and purity--that I want, not alone with your brittle frame. Charlotte Bronte
You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too. James Joyce
A. E. Housman quote: "Stone, steel, dominions pass, Faith too, no wonder; So leave..."
Stone, steel, dominions pass, Faith too, no wonder; So leave alone the grass. That I am under. A. E. Housman
Idleness is worst, Idleness alone is without hope: work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at almost all things. There is endless hope in work, were it even work at making money. Thomas Carlyle
