Life saying

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Dag Hammarskjold
Swedish diplomat (1905 - 1961)



The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.

Mark Twain
US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835 - 1910)



It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Mother Teresa
Indian humanitarian & missionary (1910 - 1997)



People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.

Margaret Cho, weblog, 10-30-03


To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.

Anna Louise Strong



The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.

Mother Teresa
Indian humanitarian & missionary (1910 - 1997)
