“Cînd eşti trist de tot, îţi vine să dormi. Îţi vine să-ţi culci capul pe genunchii altcuiva care te iubeşte, sau, dacă eşti singur şi n-ai pe nimeni, să ţi-l culci pe palmele tale... Da. Îţi vine să dormi cînd eşti trist. Şi să uiţi... Dar cînd te deştepţi? Iar eşti trist şi nu mai poţi s-adormi din nou!...”
― La Medeleni [vol. 1-3]

“there are worse things
than being alone
but it often takes
decades to realize this
and most often when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than too late”

“Să aștepți oricât. Să aștepți orice. Să nu-ți amintești, în schimb, orice. Nu sunt bune decât amintirile care te ajută să trăiești în prezent.”

“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”

“I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”
