“Well, if that's suffering, he thinks, let me suffer. Yes. To love whoever I have left. And if ever I lose someone, let me descend into a futile and prolonged rage, yes, despair, wanting to break things, furniture, appliances, wanting to get into fights, to scream, to walk in front of a bus, yes. Let me suffer, please. To love just these few people, to know myself capable of that, I would suffer every day of my life.”

“Somos capaces de enviar aviones supersónicos y cohetes al espacio, de identificar a un criminal a partir de un pelo o de una minúscula partícula de piel, de crear un tomate que se conserva tres semanas en el frigorífico sin una arruga, de guardar en un chip microscópico miles de millones de informaciones. Somos capaces de dejar morir a gente en la calle.”
― Delphine de Vigan, No and Me

“Didn’t human sexuality at its base always involve a pathetic sort of throbbing insecurity, awful to contemplate?”
