I was a solo parent. Not a single parent as far as I was concerned. Single parent implies that the other parent is around somewhere.

Jennifer Ashton

Single parent situations drive poverty and often lead to unsupervised kids. Many boys growing up without fathers often feel angry and abandoned. Thus, they seek comfort in all the wrong places.

Bill O'Reilly

At the end of the day, I know that I would rather be alone and occasionally lonely and unhappy than in a miserable marriage and lonely and unhappy all the time. I don't mind being single. In fact, I like it.

Alana Stewart

I think the U.S. needs a better safety net... If you're a single mum or even a dual-parent working family, what do you do if you've got a sick child?

Sheryl Sandberg

I have a fall-back fund for the quiet months. I am a single working parent and it gets lonely when things are insecure.

Kate Thornton

Pedigrees seldom improve by age; the grandson is too often a weak infringement on the grandsire's parent.

Josh Billings

It's hard in L.A. not to go out, it gets lonely. Being an actress is lonely, and I never want to be alone. I hate sleeping alone.

Lindsay Lohan

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Tennessee Williams

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.

Yousuf Karsh

I am learning how to be alone without being lonely; I am learning how to be lonely without losing my mind.

Paul Baribeau

Can you be alone without being lonely? Can you spend time by yourself without craving noise or company of other people? Have you discovered the glory of quiet time spent alone, time spent listening to your soul? Solitude brings with it gifts that come from nowhere else.

Steve Goodier

I buy based on emotion, because I am fascinated with an object that I simply cannot live without. Although I often end up acquiring two or three works by an artist who particularly interests me, it's more for fear that a single one might get too lonely.

Michael Audain

I'm not alone, but I am lonely without you.

Mary Martin

If we're not able to be alone, we're going to be more lonely. And if we don't teach our children to be alone, they're only going to know how to be lonely.

Sherry Turkle

I'm perpetually single. Being alone is not the same as being lonely. I like to do things that glorify being alone. I buy a candle that smells pretty, turn down the lights, and make a playlist of low-key songs. If you don't act like you've been hit by the plague when you're alone on a Friday night, and just see it as a chance to have fun by yourself, it's not a bad day.

Taylor Swift

Alone, lonely people talk to themselves. In company, they often continue.

Mason Cooley
