“(...) omdat er een dag komt, veel eerder dan je voor mogelijk houdt, dat zielsverwant een woord is dat je uit aardigheid tegen elkaar zegt en niet noodzakelijkerwijs omdat het waar is, dat er een tijd komt dat je of niemand meer hebt om naartoe te fietsen of dat je niet meer genoeg tijd hebt omdat te doen. Een dag waarop niemand meer thuis is.”

“I am trying to create a stable community in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured... When I am sick with the disease of loneliness, good weather and shimmering skyscrapers do me no good whatsoever, as a writer or as a person. I must be home to do the work I need to do. And yes, home is that house where you no longer live. Home is before, and you live in after.”

“My father sent me away for a time to live in Dundee with a cousin, whose company, he hoped, would improve my solitude. But there is something of a lighthousekeeper in me, and I am not afraid of solitude, nor of nature in her wildness. I found in those days that my happiest times were outside and alone, inventing stories of every kind, and as far from my real circumstances as possible. I became my own ladder and trapdoor to other worlds. I was my own disguise. The sight of a figure, far off, on some journey of his own, was enough to spark my imagination towards a tragedy or a miracle. I was never bored except in the company of others.”
