Paul Merton Quotes

It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of men as of dogs.

The worst thing about loneliness is that it brings one face to face with oneself.

No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness.

Words are loneliness.

Loneliness is something you can't walk away from.

I Know, I Alone I know, I alone How much it hurts, this heart With no faith nor law Nor melody nor thought. Only I, only I And none of this can I say Because feeling is like the sky - Seen, nothing in it to see.

How does it feel when you're alone and you're cold inside

This loneliness won't leave me alone.

When you're a comedian, you're just by yourself.

Loneliness: there is no organ that can take it all.
