“Hello, I hope somebody is listening...If nobody is listening, am I making any sound at all?”
― Alice Oseman, Radio Silence

“I don't know why you won't even look me in the eye. I don't understand anything you're doing or saying, and it's killing me, because I already don't undestand a single thing about me or Michael or Becky or my brother or anything on this shitty planet.”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“As I open the door, he murmurs: “Nothing’s going to change until you decide you want it to change.”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“And there's sort of a moment where everyone's sitting and thinking, you know? Like that feeling when you finish watching a film. You turn off the TV, the screen is black, but the pictures are replaying in your head and you think what if that's my life? What if that's going to happen to me? Why don't I get that happy ending? Why am I complaining about my problems?”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“Patience's design flaw became obvious for the first time in my life: the outcome is decided not during the course of play but when the cards are shuffled, before the game even begins. How pointless is that?”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“If this room were a person it would be a Kardashian on a moderate income”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“Having a large world of his own in his own head and heart, he tolerated confinement to a small, still corner of the real world very patiently.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Shirley

“Sometimes I like to fill my days with little things that other people don’t care about. It makes me feel like I’m doing something important, mainly because no one else is doing it.”
― Alice Oseman

“Playing Solitaire is a non-smoking employee’s smoke break.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Poppy was busy with needlework, stitching a pair of men’s slippers with bright wool threads, while Beatrix played solitaire on the floor near the hearth. Noticing the way her youngest sister was riffling through the cards, Amelia laughed. “Beatrix,â€� she said after Win had finished a chapter, “why in heaven’s name would you cheat at solitaire? You’re playing against yourself.â€�
“Then there’s no one to object when I cheat.�
“It’s not whether you win but how you win that’s important,� Amelia said.
“I’ve heard that before, and I don’t agree at all. It’s much nicer to win.�
Poppy shook her head over her embroidery. “Beatrix, you are positively shameless.�
â€�And a winner,â€� Beatrix said with satisfaction, laying down the exact card she wanted.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Mine Till Midnight

“Fill me I'm cold. Fill me I'm half way gone.
Would you crush me in the stairwell?
Could we just lie down?”
― Deborah Landau

“Is there something to the notion "Let me sleep on it."? Mountains of data says there is. For example, Mendeleyev - the creator of the Periodic Table of Elements - says that he came up with this idea in his sleep. Contemplating the nature of the universe while playing Solitaire one evening, he nodded off. When he awoke, he knew how all the atoms in the universe were organised, and he promptly created his famous table. Interestingly, he organised the atoms in repeating groups of seven, just the way you play Solitaire.”

“But—â€� It’s impossible. “But you were so . . . normal.â€�
He shrugs and smiles, and the raindrops on his face almost make him seem as if he’s crying. “There’s a time and a place for being normal. For most people, normal is a default. But for some, like you and me, normal is something we have to bring out, like putting on a suit for a posh dinner.”
― Alice Oseman

“We've been through this Freddy. The last time you played fourth at the whist consortium, you beheaded the queen of hearts, and that ended badly for all concerned.”
― Angela Bell, A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure

“I don't think my mum likes me very much. That doesn't matter, because I don't really like her either.”
― Alice Oseman, Solitaire

“I make landscapes out of what I feel. I make holidays of my sensations. I can easily understand women who embroider out of sorrow or who crochet because life exists. My elderly aunt would play solitaire throughout the endless evening. These confessions of what I feel are my solitaire. I don't interpret them like those who read cards to tell the future. I don't probe them, because in solitaire the cards don't have any special significance. I unwind myself like a multicoloured skein, or I make string figures of myself, like those woven on spread fingers and passed from child to child. I only take care that my thumb not miss its loop. Then I turn over my hand and the figure changes. And I start over.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Life is not a theatrical monologue. Great speeches don't take anywhere if there is no action upon it. Don't confound being solidary with solitaire.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, A-Z of Happiness: Tips for Living and Breaking Through the Chain that Separates You from Getting That Dream Job

“La vie n'est pas un monologue théâtral.
Les grands discours ne mènent nulle part, c'est juste un act s'ils ne conduisent pas
pas à pas,
à commencer à agir,
s'il n'y a aucune action dessus.
Ne confondez pas être solidaire et solitaire.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, L'ABC du bonheur et bonne humeur: Conseils pour une vie pleine de joie et briser les barrières qui vous séparent d'obtenir ce travail si rêvé

“Don't think you're wasting time by things like playing solitaire--it's good therapy to give your brain a break now and then.”
― Anna Balcsik

“I accept that I’ve lost the game of life in the same way that one loses at solitaire.”
― Yasmina Reza, Desolation
