He was welcome everywhere he went, and was well-aware of his inability to tolerate solitude. He felt no inclination to be alone and avoided it as far as possible; he didn't really want to become any better acquainted with himself.

It is better to be alone than unwelcome. - Eve Mark Twain
Your life, sir, is propelled. By a dream of the fear of having nightmares; your love. Is the fear of being alone; your world's history. The fear of a possible leap by a possible antagonist. Out of a possible shadow, or a not-improbable. Skeleton out of your dead-certain cupboard. Christopher Fry

She wanted to be alone - to think things out - to adjust herself, if it were possible, to the new world in which she seemed to have been transplanted with a suddenness and completeness that left her half bewildered to her own identity. L. M. Montgomery
But I didn't call to him for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone - he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and as far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Haruki Murakami quote: "Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way..."
Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. Haruki Murakami
Erich Fromm quote: "Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for..."
Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love. Erich Fromm
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits. Virginia Woolf
