Visos līdzenumos, visos tālumos, jūras un kalnu, sūnu un mežu vientulībā cilvēks vienmēr meklē kādu robežu. Jūra ir skaista ar savām šķautnēm, kurās kaut kas satiekas. Dullais Dauka ir mākslinieks, un cilvēki ir dullie daukas. Jebkurā līdzenumā un tukšumā cilvēks meklē robežu, bet arī - jebkurā pārpilnībā. ↗

. . . hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are. Being one place and wanting to be somewhere else . . . . Wanting life to be different from what it is. That's also called leaving without leaving. Dying before you die. It's as if there is a part of you that so rails against being shattered by love that you shatter yourself first. (p. 44) ↗

Maybe we choose to stay in a constant state of ignorance as a protective instinct — maybe I was just in denial. I just don’t get how you can be completely in love with someone one day, and then all of a sudden you just aren’t. I will never forget that day...the day where I became numb. ↗

There are no clear borders, Only merging invisible to the sight. ↗
