But then you're mad to take offence
That I don't give you what I have not got:
Use your own common sense.”

“I don't love her anymore
So
Why should I walk
Nights
By the tavern
Where I drank
Every night
Thinking of her?”

“I can do everything with my language but not with my body. What I hide by my language, my body utters. I can deliberately mold my message, not my voice. By my voice, whatever it says, the other will recognize "that something is wrong with me". I am a liar (by preterition), not an actor. My body is a stubborn child, my language is a very civilized adult...”
― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
