“Loneliness is not lack of company, loneliness is lack of purpose.”
— Guillermo Maldonado

"I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn’t have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. I didn’t make for an interesting person. I didn’t want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone."
— Charles Bukowsk

"I stick my finger into existence and it smells of nothing."
— Søren Kierkegaard
