“But even so, every now and then I would feel a  violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I  breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my  hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I  could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world  was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.”

-Haruki Murakami; The Wind-up Bird Chronicle
