is where it’s headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.”

“Mas a saudade é isto mesmo; é o passar e repassar das memórias antigas”
― Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
