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

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.

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.

In its heyday, the blazer had come to symbolise a kind of conventional decency. Yacht club commodores and school bursars wore blazers. People who played bowls wore blazers.

Andy Warhol's art wasn't that interesting to me. He was more interesting to me as a person. He was art himself. I don't even think he was really into art, per se. He may have liked to do it, but I think he was more into people being into him.

A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.

In all the horror films that I have done, all of those women were strong women. I don't feel I ever played the victim, although I was always in jeopardy.

Sometimes I haven't understood why he has done things and why things happened, but I know that God has a plan.

Every time I would open my mouth to sing, everybody was paying attention to me. It became a habit.

So divinely is the world organized that every one of us in our place and time is in balance with everything else.

I work through teams. It's the only way I know how to work.

A man is simple when his chief care is the wish to be what he ought to be, that is honestly and naturally human.

He was always smoothing and polishing himself and in the end he became blunt before he was sharp.

It's the quality of the ordinary, the straight, the square, that accounts for the great stability and success of our nation. It's a quality to be proud of. But it's a quality that many people seem to have neglected.

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.

I think I'm a romantic person, yeah.

In nature a repulsive caterpillar turns into a lovely butterfly. But with humans it is the other way around: a lovely butterfly turns into a repulsive caterpillar.

There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them.

Be it a video game, comic book, or cheque book, the question always is, 'What story do you have to tell?'

I was on a path. I was going to become a principal dancer. I never let my mind rest.

Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don't speak the language and haven't been before - that's really satisfying to me. I like that.

Who am I? I'm a man, an American, a father, a teacher, but most of all, I am a person who knows how the arts can change lives, because they transformed mine. I was a dancer.
