"If loneliness is to be defined as a desire for intimacy, then included within that is the need to express oneself and to be heard, to share thoughts, experiences and feelings. Intimacy can't exist if the participants aren't willing to make themselves known, to be revealed... Either you don't communicate enough and remain concealed from other people, or you risk rejection by exposing too much altogether..."

What is it about the pain of others? Easier to pretend that it doesn't exist. Easier to refuse to make the effort of empathy, to believe instead that the stranger's body on the sidewalk is simply a render ghost, an accumulation of coloured pixels, which winks out of existence when we turn our head, changing the channel of our gaze.

"If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours I would." - David Wojnarowicz

I'll definitely post a review, Kristine! Just might get a little behind as I have a big week and weekend coming up :)
This was such an unclassifiable book.....Hope to see a review from you at some point. I really struggled to review it.
