Helene Hanff
“Standing there, staring at the long shelves crammed with books, I felt myself relax and was suddenly at peace.”

Vincent van Gogh
“A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke”
Vincent Van Gogh

Joseph Conrad
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more /the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort /to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires /and expires, too soon, too soon /before life itself”
joseph conrad

Charles Bukowski
“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Mother Teresa
“The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.”
Mother Teresa
