I want to be left alone. (Lord Byron )
In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History? (Lord Byron )
In solitude, be a multitude to thyself. Tibullus by all means use sometimes to be alone. (Lord Byron )
True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow. (Lord Byron )
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves. (Lord Byron )
A man by himself is in bad company. (Lord Byron )
Violent passions are formed in solitude. In the busy world no object has time to make a deep impression. (Lord Byron )
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude. (Lord Byron )
Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad. (Lord Byron )
If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle. (Lord Byron )
Solitude is un-American. (Lord Byron )
O Solitude! If I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap of murky buildings (Lord Byron )
The thoughtful soul to solitude retires. (Lord Byron )
There is convincing evidence that the search for solitude is not a luxury but a biological need. Just as humans posses a herding instinct that keeps us close to others most of the time, we also have a conflicting drive to seek out solitude. If the distance between ourselves and others becomes too great, we experience isolation and alienation, yet if the proximity to others becomes too close, we feel smothered and trapped. (Lord Byron )
Solitude: a sweet absence of looks. (Lord Byron )
A solitude is the audience-chamber of God. (Lord Byron )
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. (Lord Byron )
Solitude is as needed to the imagination as society is wholesome to the character. (Lord Byron )
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous- to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd. (Lord Byron )
In the world a man lives in his own age; in solitude in all ages. (Lord Byron )
An artist is always alone -- if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness. (Lord Byron )
