“Everyone,
at some
point in their lives,
wakes up in the middle of the night
with the feeling
that
they are all alone in the world,
and that nobody loves them now
and that nobody
will ever love them,
and that they will never
have a decent night’s sleep again
and will spend their lives
wandering blearily
around a loveless landscape,
hoping desperately
that their circumstances will improve,
but suspecting,
in
their heart of hearts
that they will remain unloved forever.
The best thing to
do in these circumstances
is to wake somebody else up,
so that they can feel
this way too.”
– Lemony Snicket
