![Lonely Parents Quotes By Lemony Snicket Lonely Parents Quotes By Lemony Snicket](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-lemony-snicket-1267600.jpg)
They tried picturing leaving Uncle Monty and living by themselves, trying to find jobs and take care of each other. It was a very lonely prospect. The Baudelaire children sat in sad silence awhile, and they were each thinking the same thing: They wished that their parents had never been killed in the fire, and that their lives had never been turned topsy-turvy the way they had. If only the Baudelaire parents were still alive, the youngsters wouldn't even have heard of Count Olaf, let alone have him settling into their home and undoubtedly making evil plants — Lemony Snicket
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Margaret Atwood Lonely Parents Quotes By Margaret Atwood](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-margaret-atwood-1674539.jpg)
Toast was a pointless invention from the Dark Ages. Toast was an implement of torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal form the sins and crimes of their past lives. Toast was a ritual item devoured by fetishists in the belief that it would enhance their kinetic and sexual powers. Toast cannot be explained by any rational means.
Toast is me.
I am toast. — Margaret Atwood
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Medea Benjamin Lonely Parents Quotes By Medea Benjamin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-medea-benjamin-831945.jpg)
I wonder if you are ashamed of calling a Democratically elected government a fascist government. — Medea Benjamin
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Janet Louise Stephenson Lonely Parents Quotes By Janet Louise Stephenson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-janet-louise-stephenson-171533.jpg)
There are times in every person's life when they feel lonely, isolated, like maybe they don't belong. For adoptees, this is often exacerbated by the circumstances. Because you were given up, you have a built-in scapegoat; you can blame everything that you feel on the fact that you were adopted. But, I want you to know that this is a fallacy. Finding your biological parents will not fill in the void that you feel. You will get answers to your questions, but no one can fill in the missing pieces except for you. Before you go on a search, take the time to get to know yourself very well. Heal the hurts you've experienced. Acknowledge the past and how it has affected you. Become a whole person who is seeking roots, not a damaged person who is seeking fulfillment. — Janet Louise Stephenson
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Zhou Xun Lonely Parents Quotes By Zhou Xun](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-zhou-xun-2215035.jpg)
I have an idea I want to test, for combining old peoples' homes and orphanages. Old people are lonely without children, children are lonely without parents. Why not bring them together? — Zhou Xun
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Michael Jackson Lonely Parents Quotes By Michael Jackson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-michael-jackson-1382887.jpg)
Oh, no, I think I'd die on my own. I'd be so lonely. Even at home, I'm lonely. I sit in my room and sometimes cry. It is so hard to make friends, and there are some things you can't talk to your parents or family about. I sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night, just hoping to find someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home. — Michael Jackson
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Russell Tovey Lonely Parents Quotes By Russell Tovey](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-russell-tovey-1901735.jpg)
I've got really good friends and family. My parents, after 30 years, are still incredibly in love, still make each other laugh, which is a beautiful thing to see. And my brother and his fiance are completely happy, so if I feel a bit lonely, I just go and sit with them and feel their love. — Russell Tovey
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Elizabeth Chandler Lonely Parents Quotes By Elizabeth Chandler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-elizabeth-chandler-356898.jpg)
Nick? Nick Hurley?" I asked, laughing.
He took back his hat. "You'll be sorry to hear I don't make gross faces as much as I used to. Now I'd rather smile at girls."
"I noticed"
He waved his hat around as if he was trying to dry it, his green eyes sparkling at me, as full of fun and trouble as when he was in elementary school. I realxed. — Elizabeth Chandler

When I was your age, art was a lonely thing: no galleries, no collecting, no critics, no money. We didn't have mentors. We didn't have parents. We were alone. But it was a great time, because we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. — John Logan
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Susan Hampshire Lonely Parents Quotes By Susan Hampshire](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-susan-hampshire-1581351.jpg)
It is a lonely existence to be a child with a disability which no-one can see or understand, you exasperate your teachers, you disappoint your parents, and worst of all you know that you are not just stupid. — Susan Hampshire

![Lonely Parents Quotes By Xiaolu Guo Lonely Parents Quotes By Xiaolu Guo](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-xiaolu-guo-1672568.jpg)
But why people need privacy? Why privacy is important? In China, every family live together, grandparents, parents, daughter, son and their relatives too. Eat together and share everything, talk about everything. Privacy make people lonely. Privacy make family fallen apart. — Xiaolu Guo
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Cindy Sheehan Lonely Parents Quotes By Cindy Sheehan](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-cindy-sheehan-1856719.jpg)
People who are against me attack me personally. They attack the way I look physically, they attack the way I dress, they attack everything but what I say. — Cindy Sheehan

The first 13 years of my life, I lived in China. My parents were missionaries there, and I was an only child. Often I felt lonely and out of place. Writing for me became my private place, where no one could come. — Jean Fritz
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Jonathan Tropper Lonely Parents Quotes By Jonathan Tropper](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-jonathan-tropper-2245956.jpg)
I sit down on the bed, cradling her little head against my shoulder, inhaling her sweet baby scent. Someday she'll get older, and the world will start having its way with her. She'll throw temper tantrums, she'll need speech therapy, she'll grow breasts and have pimples, she'll fight with her parents, she'll worry about her weight, she'll put out, she'll have her heart broken, she'll be happy, she'll be lonely, she'll be complicated, she'll be confused, she'll be depressed, she'll fall in love and get married, and she'll have a baby of her own. But right now she is pure and undiminished and beautiful. — Jonathan Tropper
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Khaled Hosseini Lonely Parents Quotes By Khaled Hosseini](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-khaled-hosseini-1918776.jpg)
I was an only, and often lonely, child. After they'd had me, my parents, who'd met back in Pakistan when they were both around forty, had decided against tempting fate a second time. I remember how I would eye with envy all the kids in our neighborhood, in my school, who had a little brother or sister. How bewildered I was by the way some of them treated each other, oblivious to their own good luck. They acted like wild dogs. Pinching, hitting, pushing, betraying one another any way they could think of. Laughing about it too. They wouldn't speak to one another. I didn't understand. Me, I spent most of my early years craving a sibling. — Khaled Hosseini
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Narendra Modi Lonely Parents Quotes By Narendra Modi](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-narendra-modi-1969020.jpg)
I'm not an ambitious person, there is no ambition in my life. I have a mission in my life. And my mission is to serve my country. And when I am working for my state, it means I am working for my country, or my nation. — Narendra Modi
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Anonymous Lonely Parents Quotes By Anonymous](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-anonymous-2150366.jpg)
If only parents would listen! If only they would let us talk instead of forever and eternally and continuously harping and preaching and nagging and correcting and yacking, yacking, yacking! But they won't listen! They simply won't or can't or don't want to listen, and we kids keep winding up back in the same old frustrating, lost, lonely corner with no one to relate to either verbally or physically. — Anonymous
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Andrei Daniel Proca Lonely Parents Quotes By Andrei Daniel Proca](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-andrei-daniel-proca-2193869.jpg)
Adrian never recovered after the loss of his dear friend. I am not sure if he has any family, he never talks about parents, brothers or sisters; it looks as if his dead friend was the only guy that ever cared for him. Eventually Adrian found us, a bunch of misfits, lonely teens, each with our sad lives, and we all hung out together, because Adrian kept us together, gave us a purpose and it made us feel like we're a family. I'm the "baby" of the group, the little guy that always has to be protected; they tutor me, feed me, and rarely let me go on "missions", obviously. When I get sick I have to be taken care; when I get injured, they have to fix me. I feel like I have five big brothers, and, even though I miss a mother and a father, I am not alone in this world. — Andrei Daniel Proca
![Lonely Parents Quotes By April Winchell Lonely Parents Quotes By April Winchell](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-april-winchell-2199716.jpg)
Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven. — April Winchell
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Kat Rosenfield Lonely Parents Quotes By Kat Rosenfield](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-kat-rosenfield-84687.jpg)
It was there that I wanted, out there somewhere, when I sat elbow-to-elbow with my giggling friends and let my thoughts swirl up and away from the three-mile radius of our small town lives. In my head, I careened out of town and across state lines, until the landscape became strange and unfamiliar. I wanted to see all of it. Everything. The vast expanses of the flat Midwest, miles of horizontal earth with the curving horizon at its end. Strange, stunted trees and driftwood skeletons on the lonely windswept beaches of the farthest coasts. Towering oaks hung thick with the gray lace of Spanish moss, looming like hovering parents over shaded southern dirt. The California sun, dipping and disappearing into the ocean, tipping the waves with orange light. — Kat Rosenfield
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Donna Tartt Lonely Parents Quotes By Donna Tartt](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-donna-tartt-1415943.jpg)
She was right: school was lonely. The eighteen and nineteen year olds didn't socialize with the younger kids, and though there were plenty of students my age and younger [ ... ] their lives were so cloistered and their concerns so foolish and foreign-seeming that it was as if they spoke some lost middle-school tongue I'd forgotten. They lived at home with their parents; they worried about things like grade curves and Italian Abroad and summer internships at the UN; they freaked out if you lit a cigarette in front of them; they were earnest, well-meaning, undamaged, clueless. For all I had in common with any of them, I might as well have tried to go down and hang out with the eight year olds at PS 41. — Donna Tartt
![Lonely Parents Quotes By W. Somerset Maugham Lonely Parents Quotes By W. Somerset Maugham](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-w-somerset-maugham-1317570.jpg)
You poor lonely boy,' she cried, 'it's so dreadful for you to have no parents.'
Well, as my mother was a whore, and my father a drunk, I daresay I don't miss much. — W. Somerset Maugham
![Lonely Parents Quotes By David Foster Wallace Lonely Parents Quotes By David Foster Wallace](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-david-foster-wallace-1252453.jpg)
There are a few books I have read that I've never been the same after, and I think all good writing somehow addresses the concern of and acts as an anodyne against loneliness. We're all terribly, terribly lonely. And there's a way, at least in prose fiction, that can allow you to be intimate with the world and with a mind and with characters that you just can't be in the real world.
I don't know what you're thinking. I don't know that much about you as I don't know that much about my parents or my lover or my sister, but a piece of fiction that's really true allows you to be intimate with ... I don't want to say people, but it allows you to be intimate with a world that resembles our own in enough emotional particulars so that the way different things must feel is carried out with us into the real world.
I think what I would like my stuff to do is make people less lonely. — David Foster Wallace
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Daniel Handler Lonely Parents Quotes By Daniel Handler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-daniel-handler-1158345.jpg)
I don't smoke, although it looks fantastic in films. But I light matches on those thinking blank nights when I crawl my route out onto the roof of the garage and the sky while my parents sleep innocent and the lonely cars move sparse on the faraway streets, when the pillow won't stay cool and the blankets bother my body no matter how I move or lie still. I just sit with my legs dangling and light matches and watch them flicker away. — Daniel Handler
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Tarryn Fisher Lonely Parents Quotes By Tarryn Fisher](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-tarryn-fisher-1146656.jpg)
There is a string that connects us that is not visible to the eye. Maybe every person has more than one soul they are connected to, and all over the world there are those invisible strings ... Maybe the chances that you'll find each and every one of your soul mates is slim. But sometimes you're lucky enough to stumble across one. And you feel a tug. And it's not so much a choice to love them though their flaws and through your differences, but rather you love them without even trying. You love their flaws. — Tarryn Fisher
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Rachel Cusk Lonely Parents Quotes By Rachel Cusk](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-rachel-cusk-1054040.jpg)
You could time a suburban story by your watch: it lasts as long as it takes a small furry animal that's lonely to find friends, or a small furry animal that's lost to find its parents; it lasts as long as a quick avowal of love; it lasts precisely as long as the average parent is disposed on a Tuesday night to spend reading aloud to children. — Rachel Cusk
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Sarina Bowen Lonely Parents Quotes By Sarina Bowen](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-sarina-bowen-832824.jpg)
I'm attracted to women, no doubt about it. I'm also attracted to men, apparently. Wonderful. Complicated fellow, my dick. — Sarina Bowen
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Robin Williams Lonely Parents Quotes By Robin Williams](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-robin-williams-559298.jpg)
My childhood was lonely. Both my parents were away a lot, working, and the maid basically raised me. And I think that's where a lot of my comedy comes from. Not only was the maid very funny and witty, but when my mother came home I'd use humour to try and get her attention. If I made mommy laugh, then maybe everything would be all right. I think that's where it [my comedy] all started. — Robin Williams

He tracks the rise and fall of the glittering darkness thronged with specks and tendrils of luminous secrets. Falling stars crackle in the cold air and prickle his skin. They flash in the corner of his vision where the eye's discernment of light and shadow is most acute. — John Pipkin

lonely?" Eris took a deep breath and then released it. "I got along by minding my own business and staying out of everyone else's. Not too many people cared about a tall Indian kid with no parents. I didn't let anyone care, because I stayed out of everybody's way." "Weren't you lonely?" Madeleine repeated softly. "Yes," he said. "I was lonely. But I got along." She — S.K. Epperson

This was the first living creature I had ever loved passionately, because he returned my affection. My love for the animal was, no doubt, exaggerated and ridiculous.I has a vague idea that in some way we were brothers, both lost in life, both lonely and defenseless. He never left me,slept at foot of my bed, was fed in the dining-room in spite of my parents' protests and he came with me on my solitary walks. — Guy De Maupassant

You were lonely.
Before you met me.
When you met me.
You were alone.
You were a lonely child.
Your parents left you to yourself.
You never said it but
when I held you in my arms I could feel it.
I see now.
I thought you were strong.
You're not.
Neither am I. — David Harrower

We shared. Parents. Home. Pets. Celebrations. Catastrophes. Secrets. And the threads of our experience became so interwoven that we are linked. I can never be utterly lonely, knowing you share the planet. — Pam Brown

Don't misunderstand. There is no abandoning, or being abandoning. And you're not owned by your parents, either. You should understand ... that you have no other master besides yourself. No one was forcing you to wait for a slow death ... in such a lonely place. — Minari Endou
![Lonely Parents Quotes By Banana Yoshimoto Lonely Parents Quotes By Banana Yoshimoto](https://quotessayings.net/pics/lonely-parents-quote-by-banana-yoshimoto-90521.jpg)
These women lived their lives happily. They had been taught, probably by loving parents, not to exceed the boundaries of their happiness regardless of what they were doing. But therefore they could never know real joy. Which is better? Who can say? Everyone lives the way she knows best. What I mean by 'their happiness' is living a life untouched as much as possible by the knowledge that we are really, all of us, alone. That's not a bad thing. Dressed in their aprons, their smiling faces like flowers, leaning to cook, absorbed in their little troubles and perplexities, they fall in love and marry. I think that's great. I wouldn't mind that kind of life. Me, when I'm utterly exhausted by it all, my skin breaks out, on those lonely evenings when I call my friends again and again and nobody's home, then I despise my own life - my birth, my upbringing, everything. I feel only regret for the whole thing. — Banana Yoshimoto
