Charles Bukowski
“I didn't have any friends at school, didn't want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.”

Sylvia Plath
“So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.”

Emily Dickinson
“To see her is a picture—
To hear her is a tune—
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June—
To know her not—Affliction—
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.”
Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain. And then to want and not to have- to want and want- how that wrung the heart, and wrung it again and again!”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Kate Bush
“I think quotes are very dangerous things.”
Kate Bush
