Be not solitary, be not idle.
Robert Burton
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family — but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.
Willa Cather
Don't know that I will,
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me,
I'll be what I am:
A solitary man, solitary man.Neil Diamond
He had a fear of the dead, and of all inanimate things, rising up around him to claim him; it is the fear of the pre-eminently solitary child and solitary man.
Charles Dickens
When the idle poor
Become the idle rich
You'll never know
just who is who
or who is which.Yip Harburg
