Laura Mauro
“That’s all love is, when you strip it down to the bare bones. A loaded gun to the temple with someone else’s finger on the trigger.”
Laura Mauro, Sing Your Sadness Deep

“The person suffering from loneliness anxiety is deeply suspicious. Even the slightest criticism hurts him. He often perceives non-existent deprecation in surface or tangential remarks. Because he feels such grave failure in everything he undertakes, because he constantly strives to raise his level of achievement and win praise and approval and at the same time employs devices and strategies which constantly alienate him from others, eventually he either gives up or responds with aggression to cover up his inner feeling of separation, anxiety, and despair.”
Clark E. Moustakas, Loneliness

Iain Reid
“Is intelligence always good? I wonder. What if intelligence is wasted? What if intelligence leads to more loneliness rather than to fulfillment? What if instead of productivity and clarity, it generates pain, isolation, and regret?”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“Perhaps in arriving at the foundation of his grief and loneliness, immediate death or immediate life were the only choices within reach. He chose to live. From his rock bottom loneliness emerged a new life and a real self was restored.”
Clark E. Moustakas, Loneliness

Iain Reid
“My eyes have adjusted to the darkness. You get used to the dark after awhile. Not the quiet.”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things
