“Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception.

“I know you can`t take it,” you say. “But is that really my fault?”

“It is your fault,” I tell you. But you have already left the room.”
