Quotes About Loneliness

Una pareja es un mundo, un mundo autónomo y cerrado que se desplaza dentro de un mundo más vasto, sin verse realmente afectado; solitario, en cambio, estaba surcado por fallas y requerí cierto coraje para, guardándome la hoja con las informaciones en un bolsillo de la chaqueta, salir a visitar el pueblo.

~ Michel Houellebecq

And we'd look at each other the way you do when you see someone on the street you think you recognize, but not quite. Someone you wish with all your heart were there but who is actually just a stranger.
