“I used to think there was such a thing as emptiness, that there were places in the world one could go and be alone. This, I think, is still true, but the error in my reasoning was to assume that alone was somewhere you could go, rather than somewhere you had to be left.”
― Julia Armfield, Our Wives Under the Sea

“You too should be a little confused because that is my constant state of being. Life itself is confused.”
― Şebnem İşigüzel, The Girl in the Tree

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“I used to think it was vital to know things, to feel safe in the learning and recounting of facts. I used to think it was possible to know enough to escape from the panic of not knowing, but I realise now that you can never learn enough to protect yourself, not really.”
