A faint life. Eating apricots and growing bony and forgetting how to talk to people. Loneliness like a taste on the skin.”

“I have found that the Iron is a great cure for loneliness. Loneliness is a desire for what is not there with you. You can be lonely for an infinite number of things-people, feelings— whatever creates a void in your life with its absence. Sometimes your loneliness has nothing to attach itself to.
