I still pinch meself when I wake up of a morning. Who ever thought I'd be a children's author - let alone a best-selling children's author?
— Brian Jacques
I think it's what art should do: make you feel less alone - either in the quest for truth or in dealing with any pain you have.
— Brendan Gleeson
I have to sit alone in a room and be alone with my own thoughts. It always starts with an idea, and once the idea grows, I have a concept of what I want to say, and once I go out there and start feeling the energy, that concept grows and becomes whatever it is.
— Bray Wyatt
I'd rather grow alone with my girlfriends than with someone I'm not in love with.
— Brandi Glanville
We are having trouble finding teachers to teach STEM. We also need to make sure schools have the resources. Some communities have multiple computers for each student in their schools. Other schools don't have textbooks, let alone computers.
— Brad Schneider
I just find it absolutely bizarre that we are being lectured by the Americans about giving up our sovereignty and giving up control when the Americans won't even sign up to the international convention on the law of the seas, let alone the International Criminal Court.
— Boris Johnson
If a bacterium is trying to infect you, it won't secrete alone, because your immune system will block it. Bacteria will hide until they can all act together and make an impact.
— Bonnie Bassler
Most people play games alone, against the machine. But if you're playing against a real person, it's going to be that much more fun.
— Bobby Kotick
I think I felt very alone for a lot of my life, but once I was able to share my story more and more, and people wouldn't say, 'Hey, I felt sorry for you,' but, 'I get it, and I understand you,' it kind of encouraged me to tell it more. I just don't want people to feel alone.
— Bobby Bones
I didn't do so well at 'Saturday Night Live.' It was a very hard experience for me, for a lot of reasons that have to do with the kind of person I am and the personal issues I had at the time. I was very alone in New York, and the show has a lot of stress related to it.
— Bob Odenkirk
The funny thing about me is I'm kind of schizophrenic, because after four or five nights in a row of going out to parties, I just have to be alone. I hate people and feel like they're keeping me from what I really want to do, like write a fabulous novel, which I probably never will.
— Bob Colacello
In Arkansas alone, approximately three quarters of a million people are at risk of going hungry, and one in four children does not get enough to eat, so my goal is to bring awareness to this tragic issue.
— Blanche Lincoln
The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.
— Blaise Pascal
Now suddenly there was nothing but a world of cloud, and we three were there alone in the middle of a great white plain with snowy hills and mountains staring at us; and it was very still; but there were whispers.
— Black Elk
It doesn't matter about money; having it, not having it. Or having clothes, or not having them. You're still left alone with yourself in the end.

Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on.
— Billy Connolly
Our world is moving forward on climate change. If Australia goes backwards, we will be going alone.
— Bill Shorten
The earliest paintings I loved were always the most non-referential paintings you can imagine, by painters such as Mondrian. I was thrilled by them because they didn't refer to anything else. They stood alone, and they were just charged magic objects that did not get their strength from being connected to anything else.
— Brian Eno
The prospect of success in achieving our most cherished dream is not without its terrors. Who is more deprived and alone than the man who has achieved his dream?
— Brendan Behan
There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.
— Brandy Norwood
I have already spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning alone, missing my children, and crying because I have no family nearby.
Standup is really the only thing in the entertainment business that you do totally alone.
— Brad Garrett
Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.
— Boethius
My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
— Bobby Flay
I'm looking forward to some more solo acoustic dates. That's a lot of fun for me, because I get to be alone with the song. And I get to hear every little nuance; if my instrument does something that I wasn't expecting, I get to chase that. Chase that down a little bit.
— Bob Weir
I worked for twenty-some years with no capital, so I never had any liquidity. Managing my loans alone wouldn't do it, and working hard twenty-four hours a day seven days a week alone wouldn't do it. You have to be properly capitalized.
— Bob McNair
Schools alone are not to blame for underachievement. The breakdown of the family, poverty, and decaying cities with eroding tax bases have made a good public school education nearly impossible in many parts of the country.
— Bob Beckel
I just like to be alone sometimes and think.
— Blake Griffin
It is the fight alone that pleases us, not the victory.
As a child, I was a brat, and my parents didn't know how to control me. So they told me ghost stories, which stayed with me. I am still petrified of darkness and being alone.
— Bipasha Basu
I don't eat with beautiful women alone.
— Billy Graham
Creativity is not the property of artists alone. It's a basic element of the human character, no matter what culture you're in, no matter where you are on Earth or in history.
— Bill Viola
Alaskans are basically 'leave me alone' type people who respect and embrace different strokes.
— Bill O'Reilly
I don't think I could compare myself to Macaulay Culkin, because we're pretty much two different kinds of actors. He's done a lot of comedy. He does mostly just comedy like 'Uncle Buck' and 'Home Alone' and 'Home Alone 2.' And I've done a lot of different stuff, like sad movies, like the movie about the kid with AIDS.
— Brian Bonsall
The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it, if you could get a match, was as good a smoke as I ever tasted.
I think everyone feels alone in their sadness, and there's a certain value to hearing other people's sad stories.
— Brandon Stanton
I drank because I enjoyed it. I was happy sitting at the end of the bar on my own, reading the paper. I've always enjoyed my own company, and that stems from riding alone. I never trained with anyone - and I still don't. I've always been happy with my own thoughts, and that sums me up as an individual-pursuit rider.
— Bradley Wiggins
At the moment of childbirth, every woman has the same aura of isolation, as though she were abandoned, alone.
— Boris Pasternak
U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
— Bono
Each year over 2,500 commercial vessels enter the Port of Hampton Roads alone, so adequate funding for port security is a significant issue for those of us who live in Richmond and Hampton Roads.
— Bobby Scott
Most umpires are good about letting the argument go, but you can only go on for so long, or go so far. If you don't leave it alone after a minute or two, you're in trouble. They want to keep the game moving, so they've got to throw you out. I had trouble leaving it alone, I guess.
— Bobby Cox
I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.
— Bob Seger
However, as a parent, as a grandparent, as a former educator, I know that these practices alone when we are dealing with young children are insufficient. We will never control this rising epidemic without greater accountability from the food industry.
— Bob Filner
I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn't unhappy when I was single, either.
— Bo Derek
Writing and producing television very much speaks to the extroverted part of my personality. I love collaboration, the joint effort of hundreds of people working together to create something. But the other part of who I am is extremely introverted. I love being alone and dreaming up ideas and writing novels.
— Blake Crouch
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
— Billy Joel
Mom was so funny and loving to us kids. She was our first audience. When my dad died, I was suddenly alone in the house with her because my two older brothers were away at college. I was the man of the house, and she was the grieving woman.
— Billy Crystal
For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States.
— Bill Sienkiewicz
