“I have had my share of sorrows-more than the common lot, perhaps, but I have borne them ill.

“The lovers enter into a story together - "this how we met, this is how we were meant for each other" - and then at some point (in my experience, at least), the story splits, and they no longer share it.

“It was true what Jim said, this wasn’t the end but the beginning. But the wars would end one day and Jim would come then, to the island they would share. One day surely the wars would end, and Jim would come home, if only to lie broken in MacMurrough’s arms, he would come to his island home. And MacMurrough would have it built for him, brick by brick, washed by the rain and the reckless sea. In the living stream they’d swim a season. For maybe it was true that no man is an island: but he believed that two very well might be.” IfsMenWellsSaidTwoWarEndsHomeMightLyingSeaShareBrokenArmsOne DayBuiltRainSeasonsIslandsStreamsComing HomeSwimBricksReckless Author:Jamie O'Neill
“In a healthy individual, a broken bone that has healed properly is strongest where it was once broken. You have not lost any life, Henry told himself. You will still get your fair share of years. Yet the quality of his life changed. Once you've been struck by violence, you acquire companions that never leave you entirely: Suspicion, Fear, Anxiety, Despair, Joylessness. The natural smile is taken from you and the natural pleasures you once enjoyed lose their appeal.” YearsStillsIndividualLostLosesNaturalPleasureQualityTakenViolenceShareChangedBrokenHealthyDespairAnxietyFairsBonesEnjoyedAppealsAcquireCompanionStrongestSuspicionHealedFair ShareBroken Bone Author:Yann Martel
“Don't say anything, because I see that you understand me, and I am afraid of your understanding. I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe. I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world; and then I stand revealed and I have to share my kingdom with you.” WorldDesireUniverseUnderstandingShareBrokenFindingsLonelyTerrorKingdomsIsolationRulersSay AnythingPenetrateUnderstand Me Author:Anais Nin
