“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles.

I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”
― J. D. Salinger

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair”
