'He who cannot howl, will not find his pack'. - Charles Simic
'So, now I shall talk every night
To myself. To the moon…
I talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessedly neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever.
With masks down, I walk, talking to the moon, to the neutral impersonal force that does not hear, but merely accepts my being.
And does not smite me down'.
— Sylvia Plath
'What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction'.— Chuck Palahniuk
