“Love, love, loveall the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The trouble is
that Id let my gestures freeze.
The trouble was not
in the kitchen or the tulips
but only in my head, my head.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
