I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.
Mark ZuckerbergI now make my living by being impolite. I am clumsy at it.
Kurt VonnegutAs I followed my dream – stayed in-Spirit, that is, inspired – I made more money in the first year after I gave up my employment than I had made in the previous 35 years of my life.

Henry David ThoreauThe more I grow in popularity, the lonelier it gets. Because you don’t really know me. You just know this part of me. You fell in love with that. But it’s way more intricate than what meets the surface.
Kevin GatesIn football, I don’t have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many… Most of the time, I’m alone.
Cristiano RonaldoWhen Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

George EliotI wanted to race cars. I didn’t like school, and all I wanted to do was work on cars. But right before I graduated, I got into a really bad car accident, and I spent that summer in the hospital thinking about where I was heading. I decided to take education more seriously and go to a community college.
George LucasWhen you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Madeleine AlbrightI was very depressed when I was 19… I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.
Lady GagaI’ve done many ads because that’s my new career. It’s an inspiring extension for my mind.
Karl LagerfeldI don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

Huey NewtonCensorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can’t vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.

Alice WalkerThe word ‚happy‘ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Dalai LamaEven a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

Vivienne WestwoodAt school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else.

Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn’t do anything with my classmates.

Mother TeresaYou cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.
Wayne DyerYears ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, ‚I want to get out and become like him‘. Not because of Wales, because I love Wales, but because I was so limited as a child at school and so bereft and lonely, and I thought becoming an actor would do that.
Anthony HopkinsI believe that everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and heaviness day in and day out.

Dwight D. EisenhowerI hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William ShakespeareIt’s a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn’t support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, ‚Well, yeah,‘ but you start to think, ‚Why not, though?‘ What makes one more valuable than another?
David ByrneI don’t like being alone.
Cristiano RonaldoWhen so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Elon MuskPart of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn’t been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields.
Steve JobsIt is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert EinsteinIt makes me sad when I find sisters who aren’t joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!

Voltaire
