    Jodi Picoult
    “Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
    Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

    Vera Nazarian
    “Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.

    Best friends are formed by time.

    Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone.

    If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right.

    However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all.

    Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.”
    Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

    Charles Bukowski
    “I dislike interaction. The less I say the better I feel. I was naturally a loner. I didn’t want conversation, or to goanywhere. I didn’t understand other people who wanted to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I was drawn to
    all the wrong things: I was lazy
    , I didn’t have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non
    -
    being, and I accepted it. I didn’t make for an interesting person. I didn’t want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I
    really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Relationships never worked with me. I alwayslost interest. I simply disliked people, crowds, anywhere, except at my readings.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Sara Baume
    “I never went downstairs to join my housemates around the television. I cooked dinner later than everyone else and carried the plate up to my bedroom.

    Sara Baume, A Line Made By Walking

    “I don’t hate my relatives or those whose names fill my address book. But I do not want to have lunch with any of them. It is not personal. I am not angry. Nor is this about being afraid. I am not shy. I do not have terrible manners.

    Do birds hate lips? Do Fijians detest snowplows? Being a loner is not about hate, but need: We need what others dread. We dread what others need.”
    Anneli Rufus, Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto

    Tana French
    “If I had to get there without friends, I could do it. Had been doing it. I'd never met anyone who brought me somewhere I wanted to stay, looked at me and saw someone I wanted to be for good; anyone who was worth giving up the more I wanted down the line.”
    Tana French, The Secret Place

Since he is more than willing to kill for it, so are they. After all, he has endured through all these years, leading him to be alone, it was the only conclusion that made sense.”
    Joe Reyes, Aftermath
