Yilda

“Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her,
And the verse falls to the snow like dew to the pasture.”
― Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

“Loneliness as a situation can be corrected, but as a state of mind it is an incurable illness.”
― Vladimir Nabokov

“The man in ecstasy and the man drowning—both throw up their arms.”
― Franz Kafka, The Blue Octavo Notebooks

“What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
