“I no longer want it all, just some comfort and some sex and only a minor love.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“I miss you always
when I go to the beach
the sand is wet with
tears that seem mine

although I never weep
and hold you in my
heart with a very real
humor you'd be proud of”
― Frank O'Hara

“The beloved's innocence
brutalizes the lover.
As the singing of a mad person
behind you on the train
enrages you,
its beautiful
animal-like teeth
shining amid black planes
of paint.
As Helen
enrages history.

Senza uscita.”
― Anne Carson, Plainwater: Essays and Poetry

“I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
