Roland Barthes
“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.”
Roland Barthes

Roland Barthes
“The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.”
Roland Barthes

Roland Barthes
“Am I in love? --yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover's fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Jacques Lacan
“What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?


Jacques Lacan

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“...for it is the fate of a woman
Long to be patient and silent, to wait like a ghost that is speechless,
Till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence.
Hence is the inner life of so many suffering women
Sunless and silent and deep, like subterranean rivers
Runnng through caverns of darkness...”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The courtship of Miles Standish, and other poems
