The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
“Cities can be lonely places, and in admitting this we see that loneliness doesn't necessarily require physical solitude, but rather an absence or paucity of connection, closeness, kinship: an inability, for one reason a another, to find as much intimacy as is desired.”
– Olivia Laing, The Lonely City (p. 3-4)
Loneliness is one of the most painful yet necessary experiences in life. People feel incomplete, empty, or even starvinginside. It is also a strong motivating force, just as food hunger is.
