“There were people who loved me,
There were people I loved.
Today I blushed
Because of who I once was.
I felt ashamed
Of being, here and now,
The one who always dreams
And never steps out,
Ashamed of realizing
That I can have no more
Than this dream of what
I could have been - before.
6 August 1934”

“Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.”

“Between your body and my desire for it
Stretches the chasm of you being conscious.
If only I could love and possess you Without you existing or being there!”
