    Dean Koontz
    “Stay low, stay quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.”
    Dean Koontz

  • #2
    Arthur Schopenhauer
    “A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner; nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.”
    Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Literature

  • #3
    Emil M. Cioran
    “Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us.”
    Emil Cioran

  • #4
    Patrick Süskind
    “…in that moment, as he saw and smelled how irresistible its effect was and how with lightning speed it spread and made captives of the people all around him—in that moment his whole disgust for humankind rose up again within him and completely soured his triumph, so that he felt not only no joy, but not even the least bit of satisfaction. What he had always longed for—that other people should love him—became at the moment of his achievement unbearable, because he did not love them himself, he hated them. And suddenly he knew that he had never found gratification in love, but always only in hatred—in hating and in being hated.”
    Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

    Criss Jami
    “If it's true what is said, that only the wise discover the wise, then it must also be true that the lone wolf symbolizes either the biggest fool on the planet or the biggest Einstein on the planet.”
    Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality

  • #7
    Lawrence G. Taylor
    “However, I must admit that keeping myself to myself has not always been comforting. At times, I seemed to suffer spells of depression and loneliness, longing to become healthy again; of going out and facing a world of injustices, of misery, of widespread indifference.”
    Lawrence G. Taylor, Strangers In Another Country

  • #8
    Nikki Rowe
    “I've questioned this goddamn place since i could talk, some of us have depth we can't quite understand until we are much older. We rally across the world in seek of silencing this unbearable urge to speak a different tune and vibe a different energy, to fit in to a world unlike this. The isolation felt amongst thousands who don't really know you will one day have you gravitating towards a place where you can learn about yourself. Don't fight it, change with the seasons and give your life a reason. Solitude is so inviting you'll wonder why it took you this long to open its door.”
    Nikki Rowe

  • #9
    Charles Bukowski
    “Do you hate people?”

    “I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.”
    Charles Bukowski, Barfly

  • #10
    Charles Bukowski
    “people diminish me;
    the longer I sit and listen to them
    the more empty I feel but I don't get
    the idea that they feel empty, I feel
    that they enjoy the sound from their
    mouths.”
    Charles Bukowski, Bone Palace Ballet: New Poems

  • #11
    Irvin D. Yalom
    “Misanthropist’s manifesto: Do not tell a friend what your enemy ought not to know. Giving way neither to love nor hate is one half of world wisdom: to say nothing and believe nothing, is the other half. Distrust is the mother of safety. To forget at any time the bad traits of a man’s character is like throwing away hard-earned money. Better to let men be what they are than to take them for what they are not. By being polite and friendly, you can make people pliable and obliging: hence politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.”
    Irvin D. Yalom

  • #12
    “The world is a goddamned evil place, the strong prey on the weak, the rich on the poor; I’ve given up hope that there is a God that will save us all. How am I supposed to believe that there’s a heaven and a hell when all I see now is hell.”
    Aaron B. Powell, Doomsday Diaries III: Luke the Protector

  • #13
    David Levithan
    “I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else. I will never feel the pressure of peers or the burden of parental expectation. I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.”
    David Levithan, Every Day

  • #14
    Criss Jami
    “When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #15
    Criss Jami
    “Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.”
    Criss Jami, Healology

  • #16
    “I guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all but, to tell you the truth I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.”
    Bela Lugosi

  • #17
    Charles Bukowski
    “I dislike interaction. The less I say the better I feel. I was naturally a loner. I didn’t want conversation, or to goanywhere. I didn’t understand other people who wanted to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I was drawn to
    all the wrong things: I was lazy
    , I didn’t have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non
    -
    being, and I accepted it. I didn’t make for an interesting person. I didn’t want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I
    really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Relationships never worked with me. I alwayslost interest. I simply disliked people, crowds, anywhere, except at my readings.”
    Charles Bukowski

  • #18
    Sreesha Divakaran
    “He craved silences and solitude. He simply could not get lost in another person’s life.”
    Sreesha Divakaran, A Little Chorus of Love

  • #19
    “It's not easy to be friends with me, actually. Besides a chooser I am also a loner. Everytime I pushed them away they just gave me space and time and after all those breaks they keep coming back. They are ready for my "3 AM text" , they are ready for my "disregard", they are ready for my ups and downs, they are ready for my weirdness, for my moods, ready for my solitude....for years. They touched me in the way no other people did. They touched me in silence. Maybe I can live without them. But God has given them as a gift for my hapiness.”
    Glad Munaiseche

  • #20
    Benjamin Alire Sáenz
    “Sometimes all you have to do is tell people the truth. They won't believe you. After that they leave you alone.”
    Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

  • #21
    Anthony Horowitz
    “I had chosen to play the detective—and if there is one thing that unites all the detectives I've ever read about, it's their inherent loneliness. The suspects know each other. They may well be family or friends. But the detective is always the outsider. He asks the necessary questions but he doesn't actually form a relationship with anyone. He doesn't trust them, and they in turn are afraid of him. It's a relationship based entirely on deception and it's one that, ultimately, goes nowhere. Once the killer has been identified, the detective leaves and is never seen again. In fact, everyone is glad to see the back of him.”
    Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders

  • #22
    Wataru Watari
    “There is a tendency to imagine the loner ensconced in a dark corner, but in point of fact, as the resident loner of our class, I comported myself in a grand and stately manner. Thus, I was the eye of the hurricane, a single, isolated air pocket in the school.”
    Wataru Watari, やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている 3

  • #23
    Criss Jami
    “You might be an introvert if you were ready to go home before you left the house.”
    Criss Jami, Healology

  • #24
    “I don’t hate my relatives or those whose names fill my address book. But I do not want to have lunch with any of them. It is not personal. I am not angry. Nor is this about being afraid. I am not shy. I do not have terrible manners.

    Do birds hate lips? Do Fijians detest snowplows? Being a loner is not about hate, but need: We need what others dread. We dread what others need.”
    Anneli Rufus, Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto

  • #25
    Joe Reyes
    “He doesn't trust people because he knows they are all the same. Everyone cares about their own survival and nothing else, just like him. Since he is more than willing to kill for it, so are they. After all, he has endured through all these years, leading him to be alone, it was the only conclusion that made sense.”
    Joe Reyes, Aftermath

  • #26
    Charles Bukowski
    “You get so alone at times that it just makes sense.”
    Charles Bukowski

  • #27
    Criss Jami
    “Of all individuals, the hated, the shunned, and the peculiar are arguably most themselves. They wear no masks whatsoever in order to be accepted and liked; they do seem most guarded, but only by their own hands: as compared to the populace, they are naked.”
    Criss Jami, Healology

  • #28
    “It is impossible to ostracize a lone wolf.”
    Joseph Annaruma

  • #29
    Barry Eisler
    “I wandered the earth a mercenary, daring the gods to kill me but surviving because part of me was already dead.”
    Barry Eisler, A Clean Kill in Tokyo

  • #30
    Criss Jami
    “It is so easy at times for a lonely individual to begin fantasizing about what the people outside are saying about him and, in result, irrationally and fearfully, and sometimes angrily, fancy himself a villain.”
    Criss Jami, Healology
