Kurt Vonnegut Quotes

I really do work in solitude.

I'm a private person; I'm pretty to myself.

I've spent so much of my life travelling alone, so I keep things to myself.

I'd rather be by myself, really, than have, like, a million posse around me.

I do think of myself as a bit of a loner, a bit of an independent. I'm one of those people who, when they're sick, like to curl up and remove myself. I don't like a lot of people around. There is nothing you can do to help.

I don't think I've ever been lonely in my entire life. I love to shut my front door and be on my own.

I've never been comfortable with sharing anything: I was a single child.

I like my space.

I have many good friends, but I tend to keep to myself anyway. It's odd, doing things and having no one to share them with.

I don't know that I spent any more time alone than any other kid, but being by myself never bothered me.

I always sleep on my own. I can't sleep with somebody else. Always separate bedrooms, bathrooms and closets. I'm very individual and I want my own space.

A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don't get it.

I remember being alone a lot as a child, and I still love to be alone.

… splendid isolation

I'm a loner. I kind of like to be alone and do my work and, you know, be focused on my own things.

I have a characteristic since my childhood. I don't like living together with my mother, sister, or friends at my home. I have always preferred to be alone and independent and lived according to that.

For me, I'm a super private person.

I like to write about the solitary things people do. Humans seem to function best when they're alone.

I'm very to myself.

I believe that it is sometimes less difficult to wake up and feel that I am alone when I really am, than to wake up with someone else and be lonely.

In all things I would have the island of a man inviolate. Let us sit apart as the gods, talking from peak to peak all round Olympus. No degree of affection need invade this religion.
