I am nothing. I'm like someone who's been thrown  into the ocean at night, floating all alone. I reach  out, but no one is there. I call out, but no one  answers. I have no connection to anything. ~Haruki Murakami

For a long time now, every meeting with another human being has been a collision. I feel too much, sense too much, am exhausted by the reverberations after even the simplest conversation. - May Sarton
