“When I realize that she is gone, perhaps gone forever, a great void opens up and I feel that I am falling, falling, falling into deep, black space. And this is worse than tears, deeper than regret or pain or sorrow, it is the abyss into which Satan was plunged. There is no climbing back, no ray of light, no sound of human voice or human touch of hand.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

“Qué idiotez sentir celos, cómo voy a exigir fidelidad a quien no tiene compromiso alguno conmigo, ni siquiera soñó en este encuentro, sería terrible enamorarme de ella, qué diablos, siempre me pasa lo mismo, en vez de gozar del presente ya me entristece la futura nostalgia por el ahora que no volverá”
― José Emilio Pacheco, El principio del placer

“And he misses her
Like a wind starved sail
He sits knowing what direction to go
But the current keeps pulling him
Down river.”
― Rumi

“Something broke in me and left me with a nerve split in two. In the beginning the extremities linked to the cut hurt me so badly that I paled in pain and perplexity. However the split places gradually scarred over. Until coldly, I no longer hurt. I changed, without planning to. I used to look at you from my inside outward and from the inside of you, which because of love, I could guess. After the scarring I started to look at you from the outside in. And also to see myself from the outside in: I had transformed myself into a heap of facts and actions whose only root was in the domain of logic. At first I couldn't associate me with myself. Where am I? I wondered. And the one who answered was a stranger who told me coldly and categorically: you are yourself.”
― Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life
