“Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume loners are misanthropes, just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.”

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
“I’ve lived my life like a serial killer; finish with one part, strangle it and move on to the next. Life in neat little boxes is life in neat little coffins, the dead bodies of the past laid out side by side. I am discovering, now, in the late afternoon of the day, that the dead still speak.”
