“The next day, they put me in a black coffin and then in the hearse that took me to the cemetery. Not many people turned up. After the brief service, everyone left and I was alone. At first, I didn't like it here at all, but I'm used to it now, and I enjoy the silence. I see Esperancita once a month, and the boys every other month, and that's all: this is my life and my death, where there is nothing.”
― Javier Marías, While the Women Are Sleeping

“How many more times in my life would I sit back like this and find myself transfixed by the blue of the evening? Is this what it means to live and die alone? That you'll always be in the same place, no matter where you are?
"Is that so bad?" I asked myself out loud.
I don't need to tell you that no one answered.”
― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs
