“I touch her hair. Her shoulders clench together and she stares at the ground. She looks like a stone bird. I am an iceberg. Everyday I float farther and farther out to sea. But that can't be. An iceberg feels no pain. An iceberg doesn't feel cold. I feel cold. I feel distant. There is no one. There is nothing. That's where I am. She won't look me in the eye anymore since I asked if I could kiss her. Even wanting turns her cold.”
Henry Rollins
“I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.”
Whitney Houston
“If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.”

“Remember, you can always find East by staring directly at the sun.”

“In a way, staring into a computer screen is like staring into an eclipse. It's brilliant and you don't realize the damage until its too late.”
