Virginia Woolf, The Years

thinking about the friendships that just dissipate and the unresolved grief that comes with that

"... 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. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning."

Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“When love is not madness, it is not love.”

— Pedro Calderon de la Barca
