In our deepest moments we say the most inadequate things.
Edna O’Brien

‘Why is it’, he said, one time, at the subway entrance, ‘I feel I’ve known you for so many years?’ ‘Because I like you’, she said, ‘and I don’t want anything from you.’
Ray Bradbury

But people do. They love each other and they misunderstand on purpose and they fight and then suddenly they aren’t the same one.
Ernest Hemingway

I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.
Sarah Addison Allen

Lonely people have enthusiasms which cannot always be explained. When something strikes them as funny, the intensity and length of their laughter mirrors the depth of their loneliness, and they are capable of laughing like hyenas. When something touches their emotions, it runs through them... awakening feelings that gather into great armies.
Mark Helprin
