"I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough."

"You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you're the house where people come and go as they please, because you're simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn't let in, and you let them walk around for a while, use your bed and use your books, and await the day when they simply get bored and leave. You're still not bothered, though you knew they shouldn't have been let in in the first place, but still you just sit there, apathetic like a beggar in the desert."

"I might be tempted to socialize more if the conversations taking place around me were half as interesting as the dialogue going on inside my head."

"When alone, concentrate on the fruits of the solitude, not on the poisons of it!"

"There is a magic in walking alone, in thinking alone: If there is no one to contact you around, the universe starts contacting you!"
