Phillip's favorite quotes
"Love loves to love love. Nurse loves the new chemist. Constable 14A loves Mary Kelly. Gerty MacDowell loves the boy that has the bicycle. M. B. loves a fair gentlema. Li Chi Han lovey up kissy Cha Pu Chow. Jumbo, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant. Old Mr Verschole with the ear trumpet loves old Mrs VErschoyle with the turnedin eye. The man in the brown macintosh loves a lady who is dead. His Majesty the King loves Her Majesty the Queen. Mrs Norman W. Tupper loves officer Taylor. You love a certain person. And this person loves that other person because everybody loves somebody but God loves everybody. "
— James Joyce
— James Joyce
"Erotic acts are instinctive; they fulfill a role in nature. The idea is familiar, but it is one that contains a paradox: there is nothing more natural than sexual desire; there is nothing less natural than the forms in which it is made manifest and satisfied."
— Octavio Paz

"conflict is the axis upon which the tao revolves..."

Always great to find another Austen and Woolf lover. I haven't read Joyce yet but with some recommendations, maybe...
Thanks for adding me.
one imagines...and yet...romance novels...my goodness...that would be a genre where recommendations would be essential...i seem to have missed that boat...have i inserted enough ellipses here...?
hmmm, that must mean you need to read more YA lit and romance novels!!
