“Nobody likes being alone that much. I don’t go out of my way to make friends, that’s all. It just leads to disappointment.”


“I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“A Word is Dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
