“I stared at the nose I'd seen bleeding only hours before, the violet eyes that had been so filled with pain. "Why?" I asked.
He knew what I meant, and shrugged. "Because when the legends get written, I didn't want to be remembered for standing on the sidelines. I want my future offspring to know that I was there, and that I fought against her at the end, even if I couldn't do anything useful."
I blinked, this time not at the brightness of the sun.
"Because," he went on, his eyes locked with mine, "I didn't want you to fight alone. Or die alone."
And for a moment, I remembered that faerie who had died in our foyer, and how I'd told Tamlin the same thing. "Thank you," I said, my throat tight.
Rhys flashed a grin that didn't quite reach his eyes. " I doubt you'll be saying that when I take you to the Night Court.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“Come here, baby." And with my words, Echo leaned into me soft, pliant, broken. "You're not alone," I whispered into her hair as I cradled her in my arms. "You're not alone, because you have me." And I love you, more than you could ever know ”
― Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

“To be alone with yourself is to be alone. To be in the company of others is to be alone together.

The only time you are not alone is when you forget yourself and reach out in love -- the lines of self blur, and just for a wild, flickering moment you experience the miracle of other.

And now you know the secret.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“It wasn't the creak of the door or the soft tread of slippers on carpet, or even the sliver of light that told him he wasn't alone. It was her scent---wildflowers and cinnamon and a soft summer breeze.”

“Jess and Polly stood without speaking, letting the sounds of the garden resettle. A flock of tiny fairy wrens darted busily in and around the base of a nearby plum tree, crickets ticked in the long grass, and a sense of timelessness, of nature, older and more pervasive than anything human beings and their histories could generate, grew thick and warm around them.
"Shall we take a walk down together?" said Polly.
Jess noticed a new note of self-possession in her mother's voice. Summery air threaded across the back of her neck, and she felt a pull, suddenly, deep inside her. She didn't know whether it was being here, in this place, or the beautiful weather that evoked long childhood days in which the hours stretched away to be filled only with pleasure, or the fact that it was Christmas Eve, or that her mother was standing here with her, solid and present in a way she hadn't been before, so that Jess was seeing her as if for the first time. But she felt a sensation in her chest that was quite the opposite of loneliness.
"Are you with me?" Polly was searching Jess's face, waiting for an answer.
Jess gave a nod and smiled. "I am.”
― Kate Morton, Homecoming

“2020: Feet grounded, same space. Feeling lost, at a glacial pace. You're not alone...”

“She did like books and reading, but sometimes she just wanted to talk to her mom. She listened, though, because her mother never failed to find the exact-right perfect book, and she read it in a way that made you want to listen forever.
As always, her mother was right. There was a book for everything. Somewhere in the vast Library of the Universe, as Natalie thought of it, her mom could find a book that embodied exactly the things Natalie was worrying about.
And sure enough, Maya Running, about a girl from India whose family didn't fit in, did make her feel better. Like she wasn't the only kid in the world with a different kind of family. You're never alone when you're reading a book, Mom liked to say.”
― Susan Wiggs, The Lost and Found Bookshop

“During those several seconds when Aomame was holding his hand, Tengo had
seen many things and accurately seared each image on his retinas, like a camera
taking a photograph. These images comprised one of the basic landscapes that helped
him survive his pain-filled teens. The scene always included the strong sensation of
the girl’s fingers. Her right hand never failed to encourage Tengo during the
agonizing process of becoming an adult. Don’t worry, I’m with you, the hand
declared.
You are not alone.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 #1-2

“Naveen turned back to her, his penetrating eyes pleading with her to accept his help. "You don't have to do this all on your own. We're here for you. I'm here for you."
Tiana hesitated as a blend of uncertainty and gratitude converged. This was her mess. She'd pulled them all into this; she shouldn't expect her friends to get her out of it.
But Naveen was right: she didn't have to do this alone. She couldn't.
"Okay," Tiana answered.
The shame she thought she would feel didn't materialize. All she felt was overwhelming relief at knowing she didn't have to rely solely on herself.”
― Farrah Rochon, Almost There

“We are few, but we are not alone.”
― K. Weikel, Sameness

You’re okay.”

“When a man gets to be as old as I am, one of his greatest fears begins to be that he shall one day find himself alone in the world. It is no small thing therefore, for him to be told by one he loves, that his presence is important to them.”
― T.M Cicinski, Where The Waves Break Upon The Shore

“You shouldn't be alone,' I say, because if the Undersea is going to strike, then we must not give it any easy targets. 'Not tonight.'

Cardan grins. 'I hadn't planned on it.'

The offhand implication that he's not alone most nights bothers me, and I hate that it does. 'Good,' I say, swallowing that feeling, though it feels like swallowing bile. 'But if you're planning on taking someone to bed- or better yet, several someones- choose guards. And then have yourselves guarded by more guards.'

'A veritable orgy.' He seems delighted by the idea.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King

“Many things are confusing for you now, but that is one reason why I was sent to you. Many things will change, including you. But don't despair because of what you do not know. You are not alone, and you are not forgotten. Answers will come in time.”
― J M Archer, Prophecy Awakens

“He picked up the small painting of the frozen forest and examined it again. 'I've had many lovers,' he admitted. 'Females of noble birth, warriors, princesses...' Rage hit me, low and deep in the gut at the thought of them- rage at their titles, their undoubtedly good looks, at their closeness to him. 'But they never understood. What it was like, what it is like, for me to care for my people, my lands. What scars are still there, what the bad days feel like.' That wrathful jealousy faded away like morning dew as he smiled at my painting. 'This reminds me of it.'

'Of what?' I breathed.

He lowered the painting, looking right at me, right into me. 'That I'm not alone.'

I didn't lock my bedroom door that night.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“I had beaten her until now, fairly or not, and I would not feel alone when I died. I would not die alone. It was all I could ask for.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“I stared at the nose I'd seen bleeding only hours before, the violet eyes that had been so filled with pain. 'Why?' I asked.

He knew what I meant, and shrugged. 'Because when the legends get written, I didn't want to be remembered for standing on the side-lines. I want my future offspring to know that I was there, and that I fought against her at the end, even if I couldn't do anything useful.'

I blinked, this time not at the brightness of the sun.

'Because,' he went on, his eyes locked with mine, 'I didn't want you to fight alone. Or die alone.'

And for a moment, I remembered the faerie who had died in our foyer, and how I'd told Tamlin the same thing. 'Thank you,' I said, my throat tight.

Rhys flashed a grin that hadn't quite reached his eyes. 'I doubt you'll be saying that when I take you to the Night Court.'

I didn't bother to reply as I turned toward the view. The mountains went on and on, gleaming and shadowed and vast under the open, clear sky.

But nothing in my stirred- nothing catalogued the light and colours.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“Tonight- I felt you again. Through the bond. Did I get past your shields?'

'No,' he said, scanning the cobblestone streets below. 'This bond is... a living thing. An open channel between us, shaped by my powers, shaped... by what you needed when we made the bargain.'

'I needed not to be dead when I agreed.'

'You needed not to be alone.'

Our eyes met. It was too dark to read whatever was in his gaze. I was the one who looked away first.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“You needed not to be alone.

But what about him? Fifty years he'd been separated from his friends, his family...

I said, 'You let Amarantha and the entire world think you rule and delight in a Court of Nightmares. It's all a front- to keep what matters most safe.'

The city lights gilded his face. 'I love my people, and my family. Do not think I wouldn't become a monster to keep them protected.'

'You already did that Under the Mountain.' The words were out before I could stop them.

The wind rustled his hair. 'And I suspect I'll have to do it again soon enough.'

'What was the cost?' I dared ask. 'Of keeping this place secret and free?'

He shot straight down, wings beating to keep us smooth as we landed on the roof of the town house. I made to step away, but he gripped my chin. 'You know the cost already.'

Amarantha's whore.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“I forgot the city around us as he met my eyes, lips hovering over my skin, and murmured, 'We will keep planning for the future, war or no war. I will keep planning for our future.'

My throat burned and I nodded.

'We deserve to be happy,' he said, his eyes sparkling enough to tell me what he recalled the words I'd given him on the town house roof after the attack. 'And I will fight with everything I have to ensure it.'

'We will fight,' I said hoarsely. 'Not just you- not anymore.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin
