“When reality looks too ugly, fantasize.”
“I fantasize about making reality better.”
“And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass I was conscious of no repugnance,rather a leap of welcome. This too, was myself.”
“When men see an attractive woman, they fantasize about sex. When women see an attractive man they fantasize about a relationship.”
“Even when she’d fantasized, what she’d come up with hadn’t ever matched this reality. She’d never envisioned a sexy, borderline grouchy guy with a glint in his eye and an erection this tempting.”
“It is not very romantic, but reality is a better basis for building a relationship than fantasizing about a soul mate or counting on a god to find you a partner.”
