2. “I thought of nothing but her. I expected everything from her. I was ready to lay everything at her feet. I was not in the least in love with her. Yet I had only to imagine that she might fail to keep the appointment, or forget it, to see where I stood. Then the world would be a desert once more, one day as dreary and worthless as the last, and the deathly stillness and wretchedness would surround me once more on all sides with no way out from this hell of silence except the razor.”
Hermann Hesse

4. “You confused your father with God. You never saw him as a man with a man’s heart, and a man’s failings – I’ll grant you it may have been hard to see, he makes so few mistakes, but he makes ’em like all of us. You were an emotional cripple, leaning on him, getting answers from him, assuming that your answers would always be his answers.” Harper Lee Father Figure, Emotional Dependency, Role Model, Expectation Vs Reality, Self-awareness, Personal Growth

The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.” Charles Bukowski Necessary Solitude, Emotional Dependency, Creative Isolation, Inner Strength, Darkness Comfort, Personal Need
6. “The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength – each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving.” Simone de Beauvoir Marriage Weakness, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Dependency, Strength Vs Weakness, Marriage, Dependency
