Had to put this down for a week to read other pressing materials, glad to be back inside Žižek's head...

Ideology. Kung Fu Panda.

In which the Monsieur and his coterie become old.

"So that the essential, the true book, though in the ordinary sense of the word it does not have to be 'invented' by a great writer--for it exists already in each one of us--has to be translated by him. The function and the task of a writer are those of a translator."

"Seize me as I pass if you can, and try to solve the riddle of happiness which I set you." A writer is born! Awesome description on an S&M dungeon in this section. And poor Saint-Loup! :(

Last month of Proust!! "Attachment to an object always brings death to its possessor."

"One wants to be understood because one wants to be loved, and one wants to be loved because one loves."

Cowboys

Noooooooooooooo, Albertine!!!!!!!

...just as if I had been handling a stone which encloses the salt of immemorial oceans or the light of a star, I felt that I was touching no more than the sealed envelope of a person who inwardly reached to infinity. How I suffered from that position to which we are reduced by the obliviousness of nature which, when instituting the division of bodies, never thought of making possible the interpenetration of souls!

Reading an old Dallas Public Library copy of Tongue Set Free without the other two volumes included.

"Which of us, walking through the twilight or retracing some day in our past, has never felt that we have lost sons infinite thing?"

"We must constantly choose between health and sanity on the one hand, and spiritual pleasures on the other. I have always been cowardly enough to choose the former."

"O girls, O successive rays in the swirling vortex wherein we throb with emotion on seeing you reappear while barely recognizing you, in the dizzy velocity of light."

ALBERTINE!!!!!!!!

Grief

Homoerotic to the core!
