Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life.

My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that

Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.

If you have to ask someone to change, to tell you they love you, to bring wine to dinner, to call you when they land, you can’t afford to be with them.

Personally, I, Mindy Kaling want to spend like 80 percent of my life hanging out with women.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

It seemed to me that the desire to get married – which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women – is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge – which is to be single again.

It is good to be lonely, for being alone is not easy. The fact that something is difficult must be one more reason to do it.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Working long hours being single helps because your time is yours. Once you have a family your time isn’t all yours anymore. Most of the Mac team, we were in our mid-20’s, most of us were single, and we were able to essentially devote our lives to it.

I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.

You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.

If we seek paradise outside ourselves, we cannot have paradise in our hearts.

Now I’m feeling how I should. Never knew single could feel this good.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don’t see things clearly as long as you’re still involved.

You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

I think, therefore I’m single.

Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.

We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees, trees that start again.

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness.

To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.

I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.

I like being single, I’m always there when I need me.

Discover why you’re important, then refuse to settle for anyone who doesn’t completely agree.

I don’t like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself.

I think that I'm serious, but I don't think that I'm inordinately bleak.

The writing process for me is pretty much always the same - it's a solitary experience.

What I'm looking for in people now is kindness.

When I was four or five, I would organise my cars and my action figures. I needed some kind of structure, I think.

I have ADHD. I'll admit it.

As you get older, you realize it's work. It's that fine line between love and companionship. But passionate love? I'd love to know how to make that last.

I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within, and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.

I don't like talking about myself. I'm not really interested in myself. One of the good things about being a supporting actor is that you get to talk about other people.

There are only two things worth aiming for, good music and a clean conscience.

If your actions inspire others to dream more learn more do more and become more you are a leader.

I get a lot of inspiration from research in mythology and folklore. I find that, you know, stories people told each other thousands of years ago are still relevant now.

I love fashion, and that's how I express myself.

It's never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.

Switzerland is only bearable covered with snow...like some people are only bearable under a sheet.

Encyclopedias are finished. All encyclopedias combined, including the redoubtable Britannica, have already been surpassed by the exercise in groupthink known as Wikipedia.

I hate it, but a popout is the same as a strikeout. It's a matter of productive at-bats, a matter of how you do it.

I'm attracted to Ferraris and Bentleys, but I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to own one of those.

As a teenager I was more of an anarchist, but now I want people to thrive and be harmonious.

The way i need you is a loneliness i cannot bear.
