If you have no power, talk about your influence. If you have power, talk about the constraints that hem you in.
Even in rapture, part of the mind watches.
I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.
The intimacy of love absolves us of our guilty separateness.
Symbolism erects a facade of respectability to hide the indecency of dreams.
Life just keeps unfolding, ignoring our praise or blame.
