“LONELINESS I too have known loneliness. I too have known what it is to feel misunderstood, rejected, and suddenly not at all beautiful.

― Mary Oliver, Blue Horses: Poems

“You don't know what your life is, nor what you're doing, nor who you are.”

― Margaret Atwood, Dearly

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.”
