Paulo Coelho Loneliness Quotations

Our selfishness will condemn us to the worst suffering that we ourselves have invented - loneliness.

Loneliness is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.

You were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith.

I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.

And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.

Join with those who sing, tell stories, talk pleasure in life, and have joy in their eyes, because joy is contagious, and can prevent others from becoming paralysed by depression, loneliness and difficulties.

And if I'm alone in bed, I will go to the window, look up at the sky, and feel certain that loneliness is a lie, because the Universe is there to keep me company.

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

Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.

We can also allow our Soulmate to pass us by,without accepting him or her,or even noticing. Then we will need another incarnation in order to find that Soulmate. And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.
