“There was a time when I thought I loved my first wife more than life itself. But now I hate her guts. I do. How do you explain that? What happened to that love? What happened to it, is what I'd like to know. I wish someone could tell me.”

“One can like one's job, enjoy these material gestures and the things that permit the accomplishing of them. One can transform the curse of labor into sport.

― Emmanuel Levinas, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority
