“Kaupunkilaiset ja nuoriso elävät toista aikaa, kaikki alle seitsemänkymmentävuotiaat. Sen ajan nimi on kiire. Joka on oman pään keksintö. Kärsimättömyydeksi sellaista pitäisi sanoa. Joka taas on sitä että ihmiset eivät malta kärsiä vaikka kyllä kannattaisi. Kärsimyksen jälkeen pienikin helpotus tuntuu hyvältä. Mutta kun kaikki on koko ajan helppoa, niin mikään ei oikeastaan tunnu helpolta.”

“A day or two after my love pronouncement, now feral with vulnerability, I sent you the passage from Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes in which Barthes describes how the subject who utters the phrase “I love you” is like “the Argonaut renewing his ship during its voyage without changing its name.” Just as the Argo’s parts may be replaced over time but the boat is still called the Argo, whenever the lover utters the phrase “I love you,” its meaning must be renewed by each use, as “the very task of love and of language is to give to one and the same phrase inflections which will be forever new.”
