Quote by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone

The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. Ones stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death. – Louis-Ferdinand Celine
