Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way. – Janet Finch

“Much suspected by me,
Nothing proved can be.”

“I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.”

“It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.”

“You are like my little dog; when people see you, they know I am nearby.”

“Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.”

“If I should say the sweetest speech with the eloquentest tongue that ever was in man, I were not able to express that restless care which I have ever bent to govern for the greatest wealth.”

“The most important thing about life here is that people let themselves be absorbed into things…
It’s like when you’re in the forest, you become a seamless part of it.
When you’re in the rain, you’re a part of the rain.
When you’re in the morning, you’re a seamless part of the morning.
When you’re with me, you become a part of me.”   Haruki Murakami
