“If this was the true self it was marvelous and what’s more it seemed never to change but always to pick up from the last stop, to continue in the same vein, a vein I had struck when I was a child and went down in the street for the first time alone and there frozen into the dirty ice of the gutter lay a dead cat, the first time I had looked at death and grasped it. From that moment I knew what it was to be isolated: every object, every living thing and every dead thing led its independent existence. My thoughts too led to an independent existence.”

“Without Al, Mary Frances discovered what she did alone. She liked to cook for herself, to assemble a meal of things he would never consider worth a mealtime- shad roe and toast, soft-set eggs, hearts of celery and palm with a quick yellow mayonnaise, a glass of wine, an open book in her lap, and the radio on. The elements that mattered most were the simple ones: butter, salt, a thick plate of white china and a delicate glass, the music faint, the feel of paper in her hand, and the knowledge that there was more, always more book to read, more wine if she liked it, some cold fruit in the refrigerator when she was hungry again, and the hours upon hours to satisfy herself.”
― Ashley Warlick, The Arrangement

― Michael Bassey Johnson, Night of a Thousand Thoughts

“Jestem sam, przepełnia mnie straszliwa pustka, tęsknota i lęk. Cały pokój wypełniają moje myśli. Nic poza mną i moimi myślami, moim lękami. Mógłbym wyobrazić sobie najbardziej niestworzone historie, mógłbym tańczyć, pluć, stroić miny, przeklinać, zawodzić – nikt by się o tym nie dowiedział, nikt nie usłyszałby tego. Myśl o takiej absolutnej prywatności mogłaby mnie doprowadzić do szaleństwa. To tak jak udany poród, wszystkie więzy odcięte. Jesteś odseparowany, nagi, samotny. Błogosławieństwo połączone z agonią. Masz mnóstwo czasu. Każda sekunda przytłacza cię jak góra. Toniesz w niej. Pustynie, morza, jeziora, oceany. Zegar wybija godziny jak rzeźnicki topór. Nicość. Świat. Ja i nie ja. Oomaharumooma. Wszystko musi mieć nazwę. Wszystkiego trzeba się nauczyć, doświadczyć, wszystko trzeba sprawdzić. Faites comme chez vous, chéri.”
― Henry Miller
