To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.

- Charles Caleb Colton

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

- Dag Hammarskjold

The most I ever did for you was to outlive you. But that is much.

- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Theres nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their "discomfort" like a favorite shirt.

- Jhonen Vasquez

There is absolutely no point in sitting around and feeling sorry for youself. The great power you have is to let go ... focus on what you have, no that which has been mean or unkindly removed.

- Minnie Driver

To transform the emptiness of loneliness, to the fullness of aloneness. Ah, that is the secret of life.

- Sunita Khosla

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.

- Vincent van Gogh

When Christ said: "I was hungry and you fed me," he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

- Mother Teresa


There are times in ones life where one must face adversity in the form of loneliness. Be wise to know that this is not forever, it is only but for a moment, a stage for you to find out what you are really made of. And maybe it can be said that there is no complete victory and that some fear of oneself will always remain, but even within the darkest moment, there is hope. I choose to face these moments and not to let them overtake me because God is my strength and my portion forever.
Create and appreciate happy lasting memories of your family, friends and special ones because in moments like these, they are all that accompany you in the darkest of hours.
When you think that all you do is worth nothing, that all your endeavours are a gust in the wind, that you have no one to live for, remember that to God you were worth everything, and you prolly mean a lot more to your friends than you think.
