"This is a 172-page book. I am only on the 23rd page and have highlighted/annotated plenty of passages because they struck too many chords. It begs the question could there really be such a person, that disconnected and detached? These are all from the writer’s perspective, as recipient of the emotions — the lack of it, rather. The level of detachment is frustratingly raw." Jan 05, 2018 03:25PM

Haruki Murakami
“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”
Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

John  Green
“Getting a life’ is something only a complete idiot could believe. Like you can just drive to a store and get a life. See it in its shiny box and look inside the plastic window and catch a glimpse of yourself in a new life and say, ‘Wow, I look much happier — I think this is the life I need to get!’, take it to the counter, ring it up, put it on your credit card. If getting a life was that easy, we’d be one blissed-out race.”
John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson

Neil Gaiman
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

Milan Kundera
“Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful.”
Milan Kundera
