“There is no tie
Like that last holiest link of love, which binds
The lonely child to its more lonely parent.”

“A wonderful physical tie binds the parents to the children; and — by some sad, strange irony — it does not bind us children to our parents. For if it did, if we could answer their love not with gratitude but with equal love, life would lose much of its pathos and much of its squalor, and we might be wonderfully happy.”

“I love you more than the world can contain
in its lonely and ramshackle head.”

“I shan't be lonely now. I was lonely; I was afraid. But the emptiness and the darkness are gone; when I turn back into myself now I'm like a child going at night into a room where there's always a light.”

“The Heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of anothers fire… driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight!”

“He says he’s lonely, horribly lonely because of this love he feels for her. She says she’s lonely too. She doesn’t say why.”

“He was proud, like all lonely men. Lonely men must be proud or die.”

“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.”

“The love that lonely people crave
Follows them into their grave
Oh…we should never leave them lonely.”

“When a parent denies a child its “parent time,” that parent is denying the child its child support -- its psychological child support.”
