“I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”
― Charles Bukowski

“Să aștepți oricât. Să aștepți orice. Să nu-ți amintești, în schimb, orice. Nu sunt bune decât amintirile care te ajută să trăiești în prezent.”
― Octavian Paler, Viața pe un peron

“Vezi, așa îmi închipui eu viața, ca o pânză de paianjen imensă, cenușie, lipicioasă, în care omul se zbate ca o muscă, undeva păzește carnivorul: păianjenul...”
― Cella Serghi, Pânza de păianjen

“Cînd eşti trist de tot, îţi vine să dormi. Îţi vine să-ţi culci capul pe genunchii altcuiva care te iubeşte, sau, dacă eşti singur şi n-ai pe nimeni, să ţi-l culci pe palmele tale... Da. Îţi vine să dormi cînd eşti trist. Şi să uiţi... Dar cînd te deştepţi? Iar eşti trist şi nu mai poţi s-adormi din nou!...”
― Ionel Teodoreanu, La Medeleni [vol. 1-3]
