“i have no desire to spend my life dancing backward.”
“And my desire,' he said, 'is a desire that is as long as a year; but it is love given to an echo, the spending of grief on a wave, a lonely fight with a shadow, that is what my love and my desire have been to me.”
“Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.”
“You know I love to spend my mornings, like sunlight dancing on your skin”
“I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents; apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life.”
“I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.”
