I've never been the most important person to anybody - not even myself.

Feeling loneliness doesn’t mean always that people are not around, It often means that you don’t want to be with them.

The mere fact that Lottie had come and gone away again made things seem a little worse-just as perhaps prisoners feel a little more desolate after visitors come and go, leaving them behind.

I was lonely. I felt it deeply and permanently, that this state of being on my own might never disappear. But I welcomed the lonliness, which had everything to do with being anonymous. It's never lonliness that nibbles away at a person's insides, but not having room inside themselves to be comfortably alone.

To be forgotten by the one to whom you cannot forget is the worst thing ever happens.
