“Loneliness is difficult to confess; difficult too to categorise. Like depression, a state with which it often intersects, it can run deep in the fabric of a person, as much a part of one’s being as laughing easily or having red hair.”

“Para escribir hay que desear que algo te sobreviva.”

“Loneliness feels like such a shameful experience, so counter to the lives we are supposed to lead, that it becomes increasingly inadmissible, a taboo state whose confession seems destined to cause others to turn and flee.”
― Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone

“-No es locura, Dede, es dolor.
-No derramó ni una lágrima.
-Las lágrimas no son el dolor.
-Sí, pero sin las lágrimas, ¿quién te asegura que el dolor existe?”
― Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child
