Quote by A.D. Aliwat

“How can one who has been abandoned—truly, no one left in sight—be less alone? Before, his answer would have been 'books,' but now he can’t bring himself to believe it. It was a taradiddle wrapped up in weltschmerz, just some defense mechanism to feel better about being an unpopular youth, about being as lonely as he was.”

“Loneliness is dependent on not loving very many things or people so you should try to love as many things and people as you possibly can because the loneliness can’t survive when there is too much love around.”

“I unlocked the door of my apartment, where the only movement, while I was gone, had been the light moving across the walls from the morning to evening and a scuttling roach or two, and the air inside smelled of loneliness. The ache got eased a little the next day, after I'd picked up my dog from my sister, gotten sucked back into the slipstream of the city. But only a little. And soon it spread, until the word home could make me cry. I wanted one.”

“I have a sticky note on my desk with a quote written on it that I read somewhere. I don’t remember where I read it or who said it. I catch myself reading it sometimes. “Comfort my lonely soul and still my trembling heart.” For someone to say that means I’m not the only one who feels lonely.”

“If you wish to rebel, think for yourself. Relentlessly seek truth. But beware: the truth-seeking rebel’s path is a lonely one. Not many travel along it. The relentless pursuit of truth often—even usually—puts you at odds with the masses, who tend to follow the herd and respond to the loudest, most insistent voices. Resist these. Yes, you will often walk alone, but not to worry—truth gives its own rewards: purpose, progression, and peace. Seek truth, engage with it, and act upon it. It will compel you to listen, to love, and to lift.”
