Kylie’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay (Princeton Classics)

Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay (Princeton Classics) by Anne Carson

1 highlight

The Greek word eros denotes ‘want,’ ‘lack,’ ‘desire for that which is missing.’ The lover wants what he does not have. It is by definition impossible for him to have what he wants if, as soon as it is had, it is no longer wanting.

“It was easy to understand why women feared men with their physical strength and lust and social powers, but women, with their canny intuitions, were so much deeper: they could predict what was to come long before it came, dream it overnight, and read your mind.”
― Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These
