Bitterness of Existence

"Bliss...a merry flag on the arctic wilderness of my calendar."

"People...think they know what it is like to be lonely. The drip, drip of long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude. They know nothing. What it's like to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the launderette, or to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin."

-from, Notes on a Scandal, starring Dame Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett
