Bless @evahagbergfisher for writing this beautiful book. What are you all reading right now?
“People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.” -Karl Lagerfeld
"I felt like I was drowning. It was so untenable and unsustainable and it was so lonely. I was so sad. I was so lonely with him. I knew that this wasn't the rest of my life. I knew that this wasn't the person I was supposed to be with, I knew that I wasn't the person I was meant to be." -Mandy Moore on "WTF with Marc Maron," about her marriage to singer-songwriter Ryan Adams
"I came of age in the 1980s, when the predominant American narrative thrown at a closeted gay teenager like myself was that being gay equals death. So I, and so many people I know, calcified a narrative to survive. We were told that the source of interpersonal happiness is couplehood. We are not taught that an ease with our own aloneness is good and right. We fumble and fall and break ourselves trying to mesh and match with another person." @scotthocker on @taste, link in profile
“And maybe I didn't hold you / All those lonely, lonely times / I guess I never told you / I'm so happy that you're mine / Little things I should have said and done / I just never took the time / But you were always on my mind” -Willie Nelson #lonelysongs
