Loneliness is the leprosy of the modern world.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

It is better to be happy alone than to be miserable with someone else.

Loneliness and the feeling that you're no use to anyone - the worst kind of poverty.

I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart.

Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.
