Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project

"I loved you because there was no other place for me to go. We were married because we did not know what else to do with each other. You never knew me, nothing about me, what died inside me, what lived invisibly."

"When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not."

"All the lives I could live, all the people I will never know, never will be, they are everywhere. That is all that the world is."

"Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there."

"Your nightmares follow you like a shadow, forever."

"It seemed that we loved each other better when there were large swaths of two continents between us. The daily work of love was often hard to perform at home."
