"Sometimes I feel like a caretaker of a museum — a huge, empty museum where no one ever comes, and I’m watching over it for no one but myself."
"Time will pass; these moods will pass; and I will, eventually, be myself again."
"I am the end or the beginning."
"Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide."
"I’m not used to being loved. I wouldn’t know what to do."
F. Scott Fitzgerald, More Than Just A House (via
bookmania)
“Solitude is independence.
It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold.
Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve”
Hermann Hesse: Steppenwolf
"Isolation is a way to know ourselves."
"I would give everything to feel nothing again."
