“A world that was crowded with people could still be a very lonely place.”
“If letting go, if letting people and things work themselves out in the way that they needed to without your help was the most important thing, then it was also the hardest.”
“The greatest and most important thing in the world is founded on weakness. This is a remarkably sure foundation, for nothing is surer than that the people will be weak.”
“Life is a banquet and most people are starving to death.”
