“Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist, there are still those that lie beyond our capacity and our imagination. From time to time, when a piece of music no one has ever written or a painting no one has ever painted, or something else impossible to predict, fathom or yet describe takes place, a new feeling enters the world. And then, for the millionth time in the history of feeling, the heart surges and absorbs the impact.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

“It is easier, of course, to find dignity in one’s solitude. Loneliness is solitude with a problem.”

“Suppose I were to begin by saying that I had fallen in love with a color.”
― Maggie Nelson, Bluets

― Claude Monet
