More on Desire
“I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come 'round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left. Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss you. I want to know the joy of how you whisper "more”
“Loss is not as bad as wanting more.”
“Were kisses all the joys in bed,One woman would another wed.”
More on Reason
“Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves you.”
“I cannot help it; reason has nothing to do with it; I love her against reason-but who would as soon love me for my own sake, as she would love the beggar at the corner.”
“The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.”
