One must learn to love oneself with a wholesome and healthy love, so that one can bear to be with oneself and need not roam.

I am alone again and I want to be so; alone with the pure sky and open sea.

What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?

Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Loneliness is one thing, solitude another.
