“Maybe I am fated to always be alone, Tsukuru found himself thinking. People came to him, but in the end they always left. They came, seeking something, but either they couldn’t find it, or were unhappy with what they found (or else they were disappointed or angry), and then they left.

― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

― Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
