— Hilary Thayer Hamann"And loneliness. I should say something of loneliness. The panic, the sweeping hysteria that comes not when you are without others, but when you are without yourself, adrift.

Your shoulders are drawn and your head has fallen and your chest is bruised by the constant assault of your heart."
