“That was the price of human civilization -- to create it, they had to close the door on their true selves. And so they are lost, that is how I understand it. And that is why they invented art: books, music, films, plays, painting and sculpture. They invented them back as bridges to themselves, back to who they are. But however close they get, they are forever removed.” — Matt Haig
