For, as when the red-cheeked, dancing girls, April and May, trip home to the wintry, misanthropic woods; even the barest, ruggedest, most thunder-cloven old oak will at least send forth some few green sprouts to welcome such glad-hearted visitants. Herman Melville
Look. I see it. You can go to all the movies and watch all the television you want. I am the end of all time. I'm not hooked up to the machine. I don't care about being labelled a misogynist, misanthropic hate addict. I don't give a fuck if some human organism calls me politically incorrect. I like the idea of people getting killed in parking lots. I stab every person who passes me. In my mind, I stab them in the face with a fucking knife. If I thought I could get away with it, I would skin... Henry Rollins

Writing, at its heart, is a solitary pursuit, designed to make people depressoids, drug addicts, misanthropes, and antisocial weirdos. Mindy Kaling
If you’re only sceptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You never learn anything. You become a crochety misanthrope convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) Since major discoveries in the borderlines of science are rare, experience will tend to confirm your grumpiness. But every now and then a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you’re too resolutely and uncompromisingly sceptical, you’re going to miss... Carl Sagan
You call me a misanthrope because I avoid society. You err; I love society. Yet in order not to hate people, I must avoid their company. Caspar David Friedrich
George Byron quote: "Why do they call me misanthrope? Because They hate me, not I..."
Why do they call me misanthrope? Because They hate me, not I them. George Byron
Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed, in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not rouse? in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakene? by the recurrence of Christmas. Charles Dickens

There are very few misanthropes, thank goodness! Ivor Novello
If you're a misanthrope you stay at home. There are certain writers who really don't like other people. I'm not like that, I don't think. Paul Theroux
