Kindle Notes & Highlights
Besides, sometimes, to resolve desire, it’s better to let the thing bloom. To feel this thing, to let it catch you unaware, to hold onto the ache. What is better than believing you are heading towards love?
Like Baldwin said, you begin to think you are alone in this, until you read.
The trouble is, you are not only sharing dinner tables with her, you are in the process of beginning to share your life in a way you have not before.
To give desire a voice is to give it a body through which to breathe and live. It is to admit and submit to something which is on the outer limits of your understanding.
It’s summer now, and you’re craving a simpler existence. You want to read. You want to write.
