Munich, Winter 1973
“How dull time is! How empty—and yet, since I am sitting here, lying here, walking up and down here, waiting, I see that time’s cruel ability to make one wait is time’s reality.”

LITTLE LORD LOVE
“Little Lord Love, he with the arrows, has definitely shot the last one with my name on it… when I'm no longer young and it's not so easy to stay up half the night talking, and so on.
Little Lord, frolicsome boy, why did you wait until now?”

LITTLE CRAZY LOVE SONG
“I don’t want eventual, I want soon… softly my right hand fondles my left hand as though it were you.”

How Prayer Works
“It's not that we forgot God or the martyrs or the Prophet's holy word — quite the opposite, in fact, we were boys built to love what was right in front of our faces: my brother and I draped across each other, laughing tears into out Prayer rugs.”

In the Language of Mammon
“His most intoxicating delusion— that evil might be soluble in art.”

“Any text that is not a holy text is an apostasy… Then it is a holy text.”

“Soaping together is sacred to us. Washing each other’s shoulders. You can fuck anyone—but with whom can you sit on water?”

“You will find me, God, like a dumb pigeon’s beak, I am pecking every which way at astonishment.”

Finally got this back from the library
