There is no wilderness like a life without friends.

You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.

I don't know how much longer I can keep going without a friend. I used to be able to do it very easily, but that was before I knew what having a friend was like.

It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.

it is the ordinary lot of people to have no friends if they themselves care for nobody

Without friends, no one would want to live, even if he had all other goods.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.

Do not despair. To be friendless is indeed to be unfortunate, but the hearts of men, when unprejudiced by any obvious self-interest, are full of brotherly love and charity. Rely, therefore, on your hopes; and if these friends are good and amiable, do not despair.

How sad, lonely, and empty to live a life without love?

I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.

It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.

There is no desert like living without friends. Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil. ’Tis the sole remedy against misfortune, the very ventilation of the soul. clix

You have to live without love, learn not to need it in order to live with it.

Perhaps; but I am a difficult person to live with. My difficulty consists in not wanting to live with other people.
