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.

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.

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

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.

With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

People often try to disguise televisions. I always think that makes it worse. It is what it is!
