I love being single. The only thing I “miss” is all the gifts married people get–valentine’s day jewelry, mother’s day flowers, anniversary presents. I’d enjoy getting the presents.

Thanks K/K! You just increased our quote board by about 200%. = ) I found the Tolstoy one especially interesting (but then again, he *is* Tolstoy).

hello, i came across this neat site from the blog titled Singletude. i have a rare bounty of poisitive single-person focused quotations that i’ve personally been jotting down from various books i have read over the years. i do have all of the names of the first person who said this so if you do choose to use the quote (or more than one) somewhere else on the web please acknowledge the person’s name who first said this. thanks for being compassionate. these quotes I am proud to share them with you:

“It is the individual in stillness who constitutes the meaning of the world.” – C.J. Jung

“It’s not being alone/single that makes us unhappy, it’s the way we relate to our own aloneness that is the problem.” How we relate to what we are experiencing the thing in itself is never the problem, it’s instead always the way we relate/ think/associate with it that burdens us.” -Ajahn Brahm

“Unlike Madame Bouverie you don’t chase the glittering life, you lay a trap for it. You tunnel up from the bottom. You do need a quiet, private, personal aggression….a refusal to take singleness lying down.” Pg. 9-10 in the book Sex and the Single Girl by Helen Gurley-Brown.

“Why are you breaking down, incidentally? I mean if you’re able to go into a collapse with all you’re might, why can’t you use the same energy to stay well and busy?”- Zooey pg 166-167 from J.D. Salinger’s book Franny & Zooey

“I used to think that love was an extra-a spice that made life more fulfilling for some. It occours to me now that it’s dangerous, that who has it and who loses it decide the course of the world.” pg 209 from the book Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story by R. Kadish

“let go of the idea that someone else can make your life wonderful. Your happiness is in your own hands; that’s the safest place for it to be.” pg 38 from the book Living Alone & Loving It by Barbara Feldon.
