“Solitude matters, and for some people, it's the air they breathe”
“It is really a matter of ending this silence and solitude, of breathing and stretching one's arms again.”
“Breathing is optional, but I need some air.”
“If you met a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they had tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
“What Lily craved was the darkness made by enfolding arms, the silence which is not solitude, but compassion holding its breath.”
