“I have always loved desire. Certainly not the desire which believes itself to be determined according to a lack -it is afraid of itself; it fears being satisfied. It has to use ruses to maintain itself - It desires itself more than it desires its object; it is very familiar, this desire to desire, which so often passes for desire itself, when it is only desire’s remorse and prudence.”
