Logic obviously is important. You need to be able to figure things out, to go to the end of a particular problem. But intuition is very important because it references things that logic alone cannot.
— Daniel Tammet
I think female solitude is a mental condition as well as a physical state. You can be married and a spinster. I think spinster is an identity every woman can claim, if she will... I feel like a lot of women, or a lot of feminists, joke about taking to the sea or living alone in a cottage as this kind of fun freedom.
— Daniel Mallory Ortberg
I know that when you are experiencing failure, it's pretty damn painful. It is easy in retrospect to wax poetic about it. But in the moment, you don't think you will survive, let alone have the time to reflect on how valuable those lessons will be for you in the future.
— Daniel Lubetzky
But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents.
— Daniel Greenberg
Although a great restaurant experience must include great food, a bad restaurant experience can be achieved through bad service alone. Ideally, service is invisible. You notice it only when something goes wrong.

On April 8, 1982, I was alone in the electron microscope room when I discovered the Icosahedral Phase that opened the field of quasi-periodic crystals.
— Dan Shechtman

— Dan Levy
This life, this purpose, this American spirit that we hold dear - we are not alone. We do it together.
— Dan Crenshaw
There's something very particular about the kind of rage you feel when you're alone in a practice room by yourself, unable to master a simple thing like a rudiment. You keep trying to master this very basic thing, and when you don't get it, you just scream. I broke a lot of drum heads, and I broke a lot of sticks.
— Damien Chazelle
The only time I eat alone is if I'm really tired or upset about something or on the phone to one of my friends, when it's easier to be alone. But you can't be too wrapped up in yourself... it starts making you look a little bit prima donna.
— Dakota Blue Richards

— Cyndi Lauper
If you think about a lifestyle short of retirement that lends itself to being a hardcore gamer, there is none better than being a major league starting pitcher. I work once every five days and travel and am alone all the time. So while the other guys were spending their money on the all the cars and jewelry, I bought laptops.
— Curt Schilling
There was never any career plan. When 'Red Dwarf' started I thought we were doing a curious little sitcom on BBC2, I didn't think I was becoming an actor. I didn't see that 21 years later I'd still be talking about it, let alone filming a new one. For me everything's always been an accident.
— Craig Charles
I loved being on 'Drag Race' but I say leave well enough alone.
— Courtney Act
Up till now I wrote the songs on my acoustic guitar alone with the Lord. Then I would take the song and share it with my family and then we all would figure out instrumentation together.
— Daniel Smith
Unless we can join forces and recognize each other's humanity, how can we do business together, let alone make progress on the increasingly complex and difficult problems in society?
I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damn thing. It only leads to violence and pain.
— Daniel Keyes
A child raised on a desert island, alone, without social interaction, without language, and thus lacking empathy, is still a sentient being.
— Daniel Dennett
I can't play horror games anymore, let alone in VR.
— Dan Trachtenberg
The only way to get gay issues off the front pages of Canadian newspapers is to grant gay and lesbian people our full civil equality and leave it alone.
— Dan Savage
I spend most of my time in a room alone where eight hours go by, and I have no sense of time. I work seven days a week, and I live in this sort of vague subconscious fog a lot.
— Dan Gilroy
The great thing about a name like 'Cougar Town' is that you hear it once and you remember it forever. It's a very 'loud' title. But there's a connection to the word 'cougar' that means a lot of people are going to be turned off right away by the title alone without even giving the show a chance.
— Dan Byrd
There's something very particular about the kind of rage you feel when you're alone in a practice room by yourself, unable to master a simple thing like a rudiment.
Rey's parents left her at 5, and we meet her when she's late teens or early 20s, and for someone to keep hopeful that there's a better life to come, I think, is astounding. Though she starts off alone, she very much finds her place in a group of people, and that's lovely.
— Daisy Ridley
You are not alone with a guy until you are a proper age. You don't go to certain levels with men until you are married or you have a certain relationship.
— Daisy Fuentes
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.
— Cyrano de Bergerac
In 2013, before the publication of my fourth novel, I met with a stylist at Nordstrom. Since then, I've rarely shopped for 'event clothes' on my own. I usually do it with my sisters or a friend; if I'm alone, I take pictures of myself in the dressing room and text them to my sisters.
— Curtis Sittenfeld
In 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 Ronaldo
I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.
— Courtney Love
Ted Cruz caught the momentum in Wisconsin that I think that Donald Trump thought was his and his alone.
— Cory Gardner
The best thing I've learned is, if you're going out, never go out alone - you leave yourself vulnerable. If you've got someone else there you trust, they can say, be wary of that person. I probably used to be too trusting of people.
— Daniel Radcliffe
The power of the individual, market forces, and the private sector permeate our lives. With that power comes responsibility to address huge challenges. Climate change cannot be solved by governments alone. Xenophobia, hatred, and intolerance - more business leaders have to play a role in trying to be positive leaders, civic leaders.
I like writing for movies. It's nice to be alone working on fiction in your room, and then it's nice to be in a room with a bunch of people working on a movie.
— Daniel Handler
Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.
— Daniel Day-Lewis
As long as my sixth graders showed an average improvement of five years, the principal and district pretty much left me alone to create my own curriculum and teach whatever I wanted.
— Dan Simmons
But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.
— Dan Rather
On this planet, there is no perfection. If you chose to end relationships because of one mistake, you're going to be alone.
— Dan Gilbert
I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn't change. I have the same challenges every day.
— Dan Brown
I am proud of the Earnhardt name, but it don't stand alone. You know, it's part of the sport, with all those other historic people that have been a part of it, and you don't want people to forget the part you had in it and what you did and the contributions you made and the sacrifices you made.
— Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I can tell you that Rey is an incredibly brave young woman who starts off alone and encounters Finn, and they go on an amazing adventure, and she makes relationships she never could have imagined, and she sees things she never could have imagined.
No one should be left to suffer alone.
— Daisaku Ikeda
People need to know that they are not alone, that they have not been abandoned; but that there is One Who loves them for what they are, Who cares about them.
— Dada Vaswani
Early in the 1990s, I flew alone in a dandelion-yellow, single-engine, 180-horsepower Piper Cherokee from Westchester County Airport in New York westward to the Rocky Mountains, landing and refuelling a good many times in middle-sized cities and towns along the way.
— Cynthia Ozick
People forgot about us, which was what we wanted. We could be left alone without any pressure to make music.
— Curt Smith
I don't like being alone.
When I was on the road with Billy Bragg, it was cool because I was doing the whole thing solo and travel a lot by myself, which I quite like. I mean, I love being with friends, but it's kind of nice having that alone time.
— Courtney Barnett
