“Man's loneliness is but his fear of life.”

“The more man realises his humanity, the lonelier he feels.”

“My fear of loneliness is like a disease.”

“The man who fears to be alone will never be anything but lonely, no matter how much he may surround himself with people. But the man who learns, in solitude and recollection, to be at peace with his own loneliness, and to prefer its reality to the illusion of merely natural companionship, comes to know the invisible companionship of God”

“......and not out of fear or loneliness, but only to find myself again... for we have come too far my Life, to turn back now...”

“The most important people in this man's life - the people who have mattered to him most - aren't my Mother or his wives or me or Anna or Allie. The people who matter most are the people in his head. That is loneliness.”
