“Loneliness is the fundamental force that urgees mystics to a deeper union with God... An experience of God quenches this thirst for the absolute but at the same time, paradoxiacally, whets it, because this is an experience that can never be total; by necessity, the knowledge of God is always partial. So loneliness opens up mystics to a desire to love each other and every human being as God loves them.”

“Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.”

But for most human beings, loneliness is transcended through contact with another person.”

“Loneliness Psychology (No-Nonsense Sonnet)
Being happy alone is no sign of genius,
It is either narcissism or hypocrisy.
You've got to be extremely selfish,
To be happy without human company.
If your heart is alive and human,
Loneliness will cause you misery.
It's only the self-absorbed animal,
Who don't need people to be happy.
It's okay if you are alone and miserable,
It is but a healthy mind's healthy reaction.
Do not romanticize it with phony philosophy,
For derangement starts with self-deception.
Fact of the matter is - I suffer, therefore I am.
Life is but a cosmic dance between dusk and dawn.”
