| Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love. |
| Oh to have you with me, to have you here, not to be alone, but to be with you, my beauty, you of all souls! You. |
| I desire the things which will destroy me in the end. |
| There is no fulfillment that is not made sweeter for the prolonging of desire. |
| Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. |

| Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love. |

| There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it. |
| Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. |
