![Toni Morrison](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1494211316i/3534._UX200_CR0,24,200,200_.jpg)
“There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship's, smooths and contains the rocker. It's an inside kind--wrapped tight like skin. Then there is the loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive. On its own. A dry and spreading thing that makes the sound of one's own feet going seem to come from a far-off place.”

“A lonely, quiet person has observations and experiences that are at once both more indistinct and more penetrating than those of one more gregarious; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. . . . Loneliness fosters that which is original, daringly and bewilderingly beautiful, poetic. But loneliness also fosters that which is perverse, incongruous, absurd, forbidden.”

“Many people seek fellowship because they are afraid to be alone...let him who cannot be alone beware of community. He will do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when he called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself, for God has singled you out.”

“Everyone experiences the feelings of sadness and loneliness. We might rue our lack of companionship, but some people present a desperate need for aloneness. Being alone allows a person to think, imagine, and take in nature. Because being alone is essential for specific human actions, similar to all other aspects of life, it is a gift.”

“There are degrees of loneliness: If there is no one around you, you are alone; if there are no animals, insects, etc. around you, you are more alone; if you don't have any objects around you, you are much more alone, and if you are in the void of space, you are even more lonely! But your loneliest state is when you cannot even talk to yourself in your mind, because as long as you can talk to yourself, there is always something next to you!”

“Rose had read somewhere that loneliness hurt more than a broken arm. There wasn't a cast or a pill or surgery that could heal it. Although she'd never thought about it before, she knew what they said was true. And even though there was a cure, everyone walked around like there was no medicine for it.”

“Loneliness is not about numbers because you can be among ten people and still feel lonely, or you can feel crowded as if there were ten people around you when you were alone! Loneliness is not about numbers, it is only about being in an environment that cannot connect with your soul, or being in a place where there are people who cannot connect with your ideas, who do not look at the same horizons as you!”
