“I now know that some people feel unhappiness the way others love: privately, intensely, and without recourse.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

“Isolation offered its own form of companionship: the reliable silence of her rooms, the steadfast tranquility of the evenings. The promise that she would find things where she put them, that there would be no interruption, no surprise. It greeted her at the end of each day and lay still with her at night.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland

“A woman who had fallen out of love with her life”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, Interpreter of Maladies

“With her own hand she'd painted herself into a corner, and then out of the picture altogether.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland
