‘Loneliness has little to do with what we do or where we do it… Loneliness has to do with the sudden clefts we experience in every human relation, the gaps that open up with such stomach-turning unexpectedness. In a brief moment, I and my brother or sister have moved away into different worlds, and there is no language we can share…. It is in the middle of intimacy that the reality of loneliness most dramatically appears.’
-Rowan Williams
‘I’m a stranger here and no one sees me -
Except you.’
-Bob Dylan
‘…then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.’
- I Corinthians 13
