“Eccentrics with unseeing eyes glided through, savoring amid so much society their own particular loneliness and private sins and sorrows.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Green Knight

“The people that I liked and had not met went to the big cafes because they were lost in them and no one noticed them and they could be alone in them and be together.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
