Book Lust

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or lust:

“Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.”
—Steven Soderbergh (b. 1963)

“When I heard the Earth-song,
I was no longer brave;
My avarice cooled
Like lust in the chill of the grave.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
