“I had known loneliness before, and emptiness upon the moor, but I had never been a NOTHING, a nothing floating on a nothing, known by nothing, lonelier and colder than the space between the stars. It was more frightening than being dead.”
― Peter Carey, Parrot and Olivier in America

“To know you will be lonely is not the same as being lonely.”
― Peter Carey, Oscar and Lucinda

“What a torture to hear that a life had been available to me that I had not been man enough to live.”
― Peter Carey, Parrot and Olivier in America

“Swimming always cleans your soul”
