Loneliness, when accepted, is a gift that will lead us to find a purpose in life.

Paulo Coelho

When I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.

You will have a life of loneliness if the desire to be loved and to belong is more important than your self-respect.

Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse them with, and something to judge.

Thinking of you is a poison I drink often.

You really didn't see the sadness or the longing unless you already knew it was there. But that was the trick, wasn't it? Everyone had their disappointment and their baggage; only, some people carried it in their inside pockets and not on their backs.

Maggie Stiefvater

Sadness is fine. Feeling lonely is fine. Boredom is fine, too. Don't try to escape them. Once they are fully lived, move on to the next thing.
