People seriously underestimate the long term effects of constant loneliness

“I hate people like that, people you have to protect while they keep hurting you.”

“Listen carefully because what I’m going to tell you now is very important, so pay attention, you see, one always walks for a reason, when you walk it’s because you’re going somewhere, to work, to the grocery store to do your shopping, to your girlfriend’s house for a quickie, to walk your dog, and even if you’re going nowhere, if you don’t have a real destination, there’s always a reason for walking, to stretch your legs, to exercise, to ponder your future, whereas one dances for nothing, only for the beauty of dancing, for the form, because one can never tell the dancer from the dance, as Yeats put it so well, the walker always walks for a reason, it’s the reason that makes him walk, good or bad, useful or useless, doesn’t matter, ah but one dances for no reason, that’s what you have to understand if you’re going to stay and listen to me, I’m not walking here, I’m dancing, get it, I’m doing acrobatics, I don’t tell my stories in order to get somewhere, I tell them for the simple pleasure of telling, no more no less, and if you’re listening in order to find out what’s going to happen at the end, you’re wasting your time, you have to listen just for the pleasure of listening to my voice, to the dancing of my voice if you prefer…”

“But the strange thing, the thing that you can never explain to anyone, except another nut, or, if you’re lucky, a doctor who has an unusual amount of sense — stranger than the hallucinations, or the voices, or the anxiety — is the way you begin to experience the edges of the mind itself… in a way other people just can’t.”
