Self-satisfaction and self-pity are both condemned. What are people permitted to feel about themselves?
Being charming takes time and effort, and I am busy.
I am no longer in love, but I still have my jealousy.
Rebuttals never alter desire.
Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.
The little suckings and smackings of the perversions are the sounds of joyous infancy.
