I really don’t know what ‘I love you’ means…

I think it means ‘Don’t leave me here alone.’”

― Neil Gaiman

I’d rather dance alone in the middle of my loneliness…

rather than in the corner of someone’s life”

Gulia Carcasi

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through…

Haruki Murakami quotes

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading,

you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”

“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”

“Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.”

“Why do people have to be this lonely? What’s the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”

“If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do.”

“It’s like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.” 

I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone…

I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone.

It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.

I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.

But when I see a mother with her child,

A girl with her lover,

Or a friend laughing with their best friend,

I realize that even though I like being alone

I don’t fancy being lonely.

“It is a little lonely in the desert. . . ”

“It is a little lonely in the desert. . . ” “It is also lonely among men,” the snake said.
