“Where such men love they have no desire and where they desire they cannot love”
“A young man didn't bring flowers or chocolates to the woman he loved: He brought her stories from the wider world, where men grappled with demons of desire, and monstrous injustice.”
“Aren't we living in a world where heedless men only desire decapitated women?”
“People live to love; but then they realize that love is nothing. Love is just desire and longing; the culmination of a moment where everything falls into place. The moment passes. Things fall out of place.”
“Not necessity, not desire- no, the love of power isthe demon of men.”
“To get to a place where you could love anything you chose--not to need permission for desire--well now _that_ was freedom.”
