“You can't possibly conduct a proper affair without a lot of deliberating, scheming, speculating, and conniving. It's a delicate balance where the excitement must equal the guilt and sex must be as bright as the future you gamble.”
― John Dufresne, Love Warps the Mind a Little
― John Dufresne, Love Warps the Mind a Little
“Pleasure is, after all, a luxury. It's love that's essential.”
― John Dufresne, Love Warps the Mind a Little
― John Dufresne, Love Warps the Mind a Little
“Love is anticipation and memory, uncertainty and longing. It’s unreasonable, of course. Nothing begins with so much excitement and hope and pleasure as love, except maybe writing a story. And nothing fails as often, except writing stories. And like a story, love must be troubled to be interesting.”
― John Dufresne, Love Warps the Mind a Little
