“I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature how words alone can get your heart doing that.”

The romanticised life, where all the great poetry and music and art of the world comes from, is great but it requires a lot of self-indulgence.
I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.
I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
I need some isolation, it's necessary to me, that's just who I am. I need to be left alone.
