“sharing is not simply about morality, but also about pleasure. Solitary pleasures will always exist, but for most human beings, the most pleasurable activities almost always involve sharing something: music, food, liquor, drugs, gossip, drama, beds. There is a certain communism of the senses at the root of most things we consider fun.”
— David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years

The greatest poverty is not to live in a physical world, to feel that one's desire Is too difficult to tell from despair.

And what to say of her wetness? The Anglo-Saxons had a name for it. They called it silm. They were navigators. It was also their word for the look of moonlight on the sea

Quote
My eyes are vague blue, like the sky, and change all the time; they are indiscriminate but fleeting, entirely specific and disloyal, so that no one trusts me. I am always looking away. Or again at something after it has given me up. It makes me restless and that makes me unhappy, but I cannot keep them still.
Frank O’Hara
