“Every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles.

I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.”
—The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Haruki Murakami (via fromliterature)
“We’re stronger in the places that we’ve been broken.”
—Ernest Hemingway (via larmoyante)
