'Being alive means being in a body-a body separated from all other bodies. And being separated means being alone. This is true of every creature, and it is more true of man than of any other creature. He is not only alone; he also knows that he is alone...This aloneness he cannot endure. Neither can he escape it. It is his destiny to be alone and to be aware of it. Not even God can take this destiny away from him.' -The Eternal Now by Paul Tillich

Each, however, was still alone in a profound sense-in a separate body, alone before God, bearing His image, answeriung to Him, responsible. This aloneness was a good thing, for everything in the Garden was perfect. -Loneliness by Elizabeth Elliot
