“Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about.” ― Haruki Murakami

"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."

- Franz Kafka

"From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached."

- Franz Kafka

“Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. ”

“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.” 
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
