“I do not really know whether I have survived. My inner self has shut itself up more and more. As though to protect itself, it has become inaccessible even to me.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“My books kept me from loneliness, all my life.”
― Claire Dederer, Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma

“Forgive me, lady;
longing has taken my grace. I am
not what you wanted.”
― Louise Glück, The Wild Iris

“Rather than the hopeless loneliness I felt inside crowds of the living, I chose to converse with the dead, whom I could never reach. Rather than the living people who would not understand me, I chose the dead who shared the same understanding as me.”
― Hideo Kojima, The Creative Gene: How books, movies, and music inspired the creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid
