I would paint a portrait which would bring the tears, had I canvas for it, and the scene should be -- solitude, and the figures -- solitude -- and the lights and shades, each a solitude.

Emily Dickinson

Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.

Pablo Picasso

It is sweet to mingle tears with tears; Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.

Seneca the Younger

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.

Woodrow Wilson

Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can come out of solitude, out of going to a place where all is quiet except the beating of your heart.

Jeanne Marie Laskas

The reading of the word of God should be performed in solitude, in order that the whole mind of the reader might be plunged into the truths of the Holy Scripture, and that from this he might receive warmth, which in solitude produces tears; from these a man is wholly warmed and is filled with spiritual gifts, which rejoice the mind and heart more than any word.

Seraphim of Sarov

My children make me cry on a daily basis about everything. Tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of sadness - all the tears, all the time.

Busy Philipps

One can acquire everything in solitude except character.

Stendhal

It was solitude, but it was solitude that wasn't lonely. Solitude that could sort things out. And he hadn't had that in ages.

Patrick Ness

Some tears have to be cried no matter what the hour- until they are, they simply rave and burn inside.

Stephen King

What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists!... [people] burn from within... sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. Except sometimes his teeth. Or the heart. No one speaks about this, but its for real.

Keanu Reeves

There is a solitude of space. A solitude of sea. A solitude of death, but these societies shall be compared with that profounder site-that polar privacy. A soul admitted to itself--Finite infinity.

Emily Dickinson

She was not accustomed to taste the joys of solitude except in company.

Edith Wharton

Solitude is a place where all is quiet - except the beating of your heart.

Jeanne Marie Laskas

In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude. But with action came anxiety, and the sense of insuperable effort made to match the dream, and with it came weariness, discouragement, and the flight into solitude again. And then in solitude, in the opium den of remembrance, the possibility of pleasure again.
