Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“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!”

“Misery was a creeping thing, like the dew settling on grass or the cold fingers of frost meeting me in my bed at night and crackling the insides of my windows. 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.”
