Not exactly alienation, but here's a couple on loneliness:
Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.
         Mother Teresa
The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship.
         Francis Bacon
And here's one on alienation:
Alienation without must be accompanied by alienation within; that is the law
for every social level, even individuals. To harm one's fellows, even one's
enemies, harms you, takes away some essential element from your self-
respect and self-image.
         Greg Bear, from the novella _Heads_
Really interesting novella if you like sci-fi that explores ethical issues.
