SO GOOD QUOTES

I understood loneliness from the perspective of a whimsical, wandering seeker; one who had never been quite in sync with the people around her. I longed for deeper, enduring connections than the ones I knew. I had always felt different and isolated; other people were mysterious and hard to understand.

…

I didn’t see that this life I imagined still entailed absorption in work and an obsession with my own reputation. I couldn’t see that this was not the solution to my loneliness.

…

“It is a loneliness I can live with because it is not an end in itself; it is merely a reminder of our true, great end.”

The Solution to the Long Loneliness? Love.
