You always feel like you are the only one in the world, like everyone else is crazy for each other, but it's not true. Generally, people don't like each other very much. And that goes for friends, too. Miranda July

People with antisocial personality disorders aren't automatically bad, they simply approach the world with a more ruthless set of lenses. The lack of empathy or very weak empathy and the ability to read other people's weak spots can be a flammable combination when you get in the way of something they want. But they aren't a different species. They're a part of our spectrum. Eden Robinson

Unsociable humors are contracted in solitude, which will, in the end, not fail of corrupting the understanding as well as the manners, and of utterly disqualifying a man for the satisfactions and duties of life. Men must be taken as they are, and we neither make them or ourselves better by flying from or quarreling with them. Edmond Burke

Sometimes with the most intense pain a paralysis of sensibility occurs. The soul disintegrates hence the deadly frost the free power of the mind the shattering, ceaseless wit of this kind of despair. There is no inclination for anything any more the person is alone, like a baleful power as he has no connection with the rest of the world he consumes himself gradually and in accordance with his own principle he is misanthropic and misotheos. Novalis

Misanthropes have some admirable if paradoxical virtues. It is no exaggeration to say that we are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial. Ships that pass in the night. As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.
