lonely distance dark
There was no wind; there was no passing shadow on the deep shade of the night; there was no noise.

Dark and lonely distance lay around him everywhere, and the clocks were faintly striking two. Charles Dickens

lonely stress cutting
I can only think seriously of trying to live up to an ideal, to improve myself, if I am split in two pieces. There must be a good “I” who is going to improve the bad “me.” “I,” who has the best intentions, will go to work on wayward “me,” and the tussle between the two will very much stress the difference between them. Consequently “I” will feel more separate than ever, and so merely increase the lonely and cut-off feelings which make “me” behave so badly. Alan Watts

No one else saw the joke. That's why he was lonely. Alan Moore
lonely blessed heart
The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things.

Aiden Wilson Tozer
lonely giving-up loneliness
...We leave our homeland, our property and our friends. We give up the familiar ground that supports our ego, admit the helplessness of ego to control its world and secure itself. We give up our clingings to superiority and self-preservation...It means giving up searching for a home, becoming a refugee, a lonely person who must depend on himself...Fundamentally, no one can help us. If we seek to relieve our loneliness, we will be distracted from the path. Instead, we must make a relationship with loneliness until it becomes aloneness. Chogyam Trungpa
