Lonely, ain't it? Yes, but my lonely is mine. Now your lonely is somebody else's. Made by somebody else and handed to you. Ain't that something? A secondhand lonely.

Toni Morrison

I'd rather be single, happy, and lonely sometimes than married, lonely, and happy sometimes.

Mark Fiore

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met?

David Foster Wallace

We're all lonely, but I'd rather be lonely by myself than with a long list of duties and obligations. I think that's why people kill themselves, really.

Morrissey

Lonely children often have imaginary playmates but I was never lonely; rather, I was solitary, and wanted no company at all other than books and movies, and my own imagination.

Gore Vidal

One of the things that surprised me the most is how often we assume that because something's fun for someone else, it makes somebody else happy, it will make us happy.

Gretchen Rubin

We must stop this incessant victimhood mentality. Somebody else will not fix things. Somebody else will not make me healthy. Somebody else will not make me happy. These things are my responsibility. Not the neighbor’s, not the government’s, not the church or the civic club.

Joel Salatin

I'd rather sink with my own vision than float with somebody else's.

Rosie O'Donnell

I've never seen the Osbournes, I've never seen Paris Hilton. I'd rather read than watch reality TV. I'd rather live life than watch somebody else living it.

Al Jourgensen

I'd rather live precariously in my own office than comfortably in somebody else's.

Peter Mayle

I love to be happy. I think you are happy if you make somebody else happy around you.

Amanda Nunes

I hope to live long and be happy. But I'd like to be remembered as somebody who did good rather than mischief.

Mary Archer

Every one of Joel's important songs--including the happy ones--are ultimately about loneliness. And it's not 'clever lonely' (like Morrissey) or 'interesting lonely' (like Radiohead); it's 'lonely lonely,' like the way it feels when you're being hugged by someone and it somehow makes you sadder.

Chuck Klosterman

I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.

Ray Walston

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 rather than being unhappy with somebody, being alone and happy is better.
