People are not the way they are primarily in order to annoy me.
In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.
The madness of love can always be suspended--to cook dinner or catch a plane, for instance.
Mathematics: silent harmonies. Music: sounding numbers.
What I eat turns into my body. What I read turns into my mind.
The little suckings and smackings of the perversions are the sounds of joyous infancy.
