“oh, that was a terrible time for me, I can tell you. I kept the blinds drawn down over both my windows. When I peeped out, I saw the sun shining as if nothing had happened. I could not understand it. I saw people going along the street, laughing and talking about indifferent things. I could not understand it. It seemed to me that the whole of existence must be at a standstill -- as if under an eclipse.”
― Henrik Ibsen, The Wild Duck/John Gabriel Borkman

“If we are alone, we become more alone. Life is strange”

When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

“It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think yours is the only path.”
