More From John Fowles

All my life i've been lonely. i've been lonely at crowded parties. i've been lonely in the middle of kissing a girl and i've been lonely at camp with hundreds of fellows around. but now i'm not lonely any more.

Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.
Self Mind Enlightenment
Every one of joel's important songs--including the happy ones--are ultimately about loneliness. and it's not 'clever lonely' (like morrissey) or 'interesting lonely' (like radiohead); it's 'lonely lonely,' like the way it feels when you're being hugged by someone and it somehow makes you sadder.
Song Lonely Clever
They are lonely. i'm not talking about lonely for a lover or a friend. i mean lonely in the universal sense, lonely inside the understanding that we are tiny people on a tiny little earth suspended in an endless void that echoes past stars and stars of stars.

I'm only lonely when i'm driving in my car. i'm only lonely after dark. i'm only lonely when i watch my tv. i'm only lonely occasionally.

Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom, and how much the truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. to the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of the mind. but the wise man himself does not feel lonely. wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. bookishness may lead to loneliness, and scholarship may end in a battle of beliefs, but the wise man gazing off into space sees not an emptiness, but a space full of life, truth, and law.
Wise Lonely Stars
Northern sweden holds a special kind of magic. it's cold, lonely, and the people are tough and silent, or so the stereotype says. this is asa larsson's home turf and i find as much joy in reading her closely observed descriptions of the environment, as in following her intriguing plots.
