“You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. You can be the most popular person in school, envied by every girl and wanted by every boy, and still feel completely worthless. The world can be laid at your feet and you can still not know what you want from it.”
“You can decorate absence however you want- but your still gonna feel what’s missing.”
“Monasticism is really based on the idea that if you leave people, you leave the spirit of the world. But you do not. You can leave the world in a physical sense, you can leave the crowd and the people; but there in your lonely cell the spirit of the world may still be with you.”
“You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.”
“I want to show you that you can be funny and hot. You can drink and read. People are still getting used to what I am.”
“You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.”
