“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”

— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

“The truest loves of our lives are not always romantic. The winter makes us honest. It helps us remember.”

“February is the loneliest month of the year.”

“I am tired of trying to escape loneliness. Let it find me. Let it follow me into bed or on my walk. In Finnish, February is called the month of the pearl for how the snow melts then freezes again on tree branches. The forests coated in the heart of winter. In Old English, February was called Solmanath. Mud month. Today too is the start of a lunar new year, the spring festival and the year of the water tiger.

The thaw is proof. Here is enough warmth to become something new.”

— Sanna Wani, from “booklight 04: The Heart of Winter”
