I like people too much or not at all. I’ve got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.

I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

I’ll read my books and I’ll drink coffee and I’ll listen to music, and I’ll bolt the door.

There’s nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood.
