“There are degrees of loneliness: If there is no one around you, you are alone; if there are no animals, insects, etc. around you, you are more alone; if you don't have any objects around you, you are much more alone, and if you are in the void of space, you are even more lonely! But your loneliest state is when you cannot even talk to yourself in your mind, because as long as you can talk to yourself, there is always something next to you!”

I had longed to be left alone, to escape the lie of my family, only to discover this was different kind of poison. Slow acting, but lethal. At first it numbed me, pleasure leaching from my days like a summer leaf draining of sap to greet the autumn. Then loneliness came, a creeping oily stain that stopped me from enjoying it at all.”
