Being alone is best. I mean, it's true, isn't it? In the end you'll be absolutely alone; therefore, being alone is natural. If you accept that, nothing bad can happen. That's why I shut myself away in my six-mat one-room apartment. ↗
في تلك الليالي أيقنت بعد جلاء العناصر، أنني جئت إلى هذا الوجود وحيداً، و أنني سأسعى فرداً منقطعاً مهما تعددت الصحبة، و اتصلت الحميمية، و كل ما تؤججه الرفقة إنما لواذٌ وقتي، مرهونٌ بمده، له إبتداء و له إنتهاء شأن كافة المواقيت. ↗
The true measure of a man is not what he dreams, but what he aspires to be; a dream is nothing without action. Whether one fails or succeeds is irrelevant; all that matters is that there was motion in his life. That alone affects the world. ↗
I was alone in that room. Of course, there were bodies all around, but they were all dead. They were dead when I got there. Well, most of them were dead. The last few I had to strangle so I could enjoy some solitude. ↗
I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone. ↗
'The Christmas Song,' by Nat King Cole, is not only a masterful performance; to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it, because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone. ↗
