“What I want now is what I've always wanted.”

“You know I've always wanted someone to sing to me, but now I know that what I want more is to sing to you.”

“New York! I've always wanted to see it and now I've see it. It's true what they say-- it's the most wonderful city in the world.”

“I wanted, then, to become what I most admired, what now seemed most real to me. I wanted to be that exalted, complicated presence in someone's life, the familiar body, the source of another's existence. But I knew what I wanted was not always what I needed.”

“I don't want anything now, Sarie thought, not a thing in the world. I have everything I want. Yesterday I wanted so much without knowing what. Today I've got everything...”

“I've never known before what it feels like to want someone - not to want to hook up with them or whatever, but to want them, to want them. And now I do. So maybe I do believe in epiphanies.”
