Quotes About Alone

I write because I am alone and move through the world alone. No one will know what has passed through me... I write because there are stories that people have forgotten to tell, because I am a woman trying to stand up in my life...

I need not say that in this place I had never ceased to passionately regret my dear old master in the noble pine woods of the Peak.

Twenty times at least had I endeavored to run away, with the full intent of trying to find my road back alone
