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

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.

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

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.

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.

If I stayed in this game for individual achievements, I don't think I'd still be playing.

It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.

Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.

We can and must turn this around. If you're going to kill someone just pull the trigger.

I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.

As soon as there will exist for everyone a margin of real freedom beyond the production of life Marxism will have lived out its span a philosophy of freedom will take its place. But we have no means no intellectual instrument no concrete experience which allow us to conceive of this freedom or of this philosophy.

They advertise on the radio for food stamps!

You can transform yourself but insects can do it better.

Between two products equal in price, function and quality, the better looking will outsell the other.

Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work night and day to achieve.

When I saw Paul Scofield do 'Love's Labor's Lost at Stratford,' that's when I saw the potential of the level of truth that could go on up there on a stage. I said, 'This is what I want to do.'

People want fashion from us, whereas they might buy core styles from other designers.

I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.

If you don't have good horses, it's very tough to win.

We want to take care of our employees, because they take care of our family.

Ambition, if it feeds at all, does so on the ambition of others.

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.

Taking chances is my job; some will connect and some won't, and certain films find their audiences in different ways. I think 'Spotlight' probably is a better movie because of 'The Cobbler.' You learn with every movie you make: you learn from your mistakes, and you learn from your achievements, and I really do have that approach to filmmaking.
