"But I'll tell you what hermits realise ...."

But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.

Alan Watts

"I was always hungry for love ...."

I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.

I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?

Haruki Murakami
