David  Brooks
“Love is the strongest kind of army because it generates no resistance.”
David Brooks, The Road to Character

Henry Cloud
“Denial of one's need for others is the most common type of defense against bonding. If people come from a situation, whether growing up or later in life, where good, safe relationships were not available to them, they learn to deny that they even want them. Why want what you can't have? They slowly get rid of their awareness of the need.”
Henry Cloud, Changes That Heal: How to Understand the Past to Ensure a Healthier Future

Haruki Murakami
“It had no ornament, no defining characteristic. No argument, no message. It fulfilled its structural role but aspired to nothing further.”
Haruki Murakami, Desire: Vintage Minis

Olivia Laing
“What does it feel like to be lonely? It feels like being hungry: like being hungry when everyone around you is readying for a feast. It feels shameful and alarming, and over time these feelings radiate outwards, making the lonely person increasingly isolated, increasingly estranged. It hurts, in the way that feelings do, and it also has physical consequences that take place invisibly, inside the closed compartments of the body. It advances, is what I’m trying to say, cold as ice and clear as glass, enclosing and engulfing.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone

Olivia Laing
“So much of the pain of loneliness is to do with concealment, with feeling compelled to hide vulnerability, to tuck ugliness away, to cover up scars as if they are literally repulsive. But why hide? What's so shameful about wanting, about desire, about having failed to achieve satisfaction, about experiencing unhappiness? Why this need to constantly inhabit peak states, or to be comfortably sealed inside a unit of two, turned inward from the world at large?”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
