Left Alone Quotes - Page 8

• Quien mete la mano en un rosal puede coger un puñado de flores; pero por muchas que coja, es sólo una pequeña porción del conjunto. Sin embargo, un puñado basta para experimentar la naturaleza de las flores. Sólo si nos negamos a meter la mano en el rosal, porque no podemos coger todas las flores a la vez, o si extendemos nuestro puñado de rosas como si fuera todo el rosal, sólo entonces florece aparte de nosotros, desconocido para nosotros, y nos quedamos solos.

  Lou Andreas-Salomé

• Tengo perros, y no es ningún secreto que los reptiles me resultan interesantes, pero lo que pasa con los reptiles es que lo único que quieren es que los dejen en paz, y yo los entiendo. Dicen: "No me cojas, deja de abrazarme, no me mires, déjame en paz". Tengo que admitir que a veces me siento así.

  Nicolas Cage

• If it were not for the assurance that I have that the Lord is near to us, guiding, directing, the burden would be almost beyond my strength, but because I know that He is there, and that He can be appealed to, and if we have ears to hear attuned to Him, we will never be left alone.

  Harold B. Lee

• Shaw does not merely decorate a proposition, but makes his way from point to point through new and difficult territory. This explains why Shaw must either be taken whole or left alone. He must be disassembled and put together again with nothing left out, under pain of incomprehension; for his politics, his art, and his religion - to say nothing of the shape of his sentences - are unique expressions of this enormously enlarged and yet concentrated consciousness.

  Jacques Barzun

  Art, Pain, Taken

• I don't know if anyone has noticed but I only ever write about one thing: being alone. The fear of being alone, the desire to not be alone, the attempts we make to find our person, to keep our person, to convince our person to not leave us alone, the joy of being with our person and thus no longer alone, the devastation of being left alone. The need to hear the words: You are not alone.

• I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, 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.

• Maybe I've been a small part of the democratisation of celebrity, because I've been fascinated by it, and when it started to happen to me to the very limited extent that it happens to writers in North America, I was exposed to people who had the disease of celebrity. People who had raging, raging, life-threatening celebrity, people who would be in danger if they were left alone on the street without their minders. It's a great anthropological privilege to be there.

• Greece, alone, is in a very vulnerable position. If the Greeks had had support from progressive left and popular forces elsewhere in Europe they might have been able to resist the demands of the Troika, but they had almost no support. Not even from Portugal, Spain, or other left forces. They were left alone.
