Quote by Marceline Loridan-Ivens

“Tout le monde a quelque chose à cacher, elle, c'est une survivante qui trimbale son enfer avec elle, qui commande encore à ses nerfs, à ses muscles, et a tout asséché en elle. Elle laisse les mains de Freddie se promener sous ses vêtements, elle ne sent rien, son corps ne frémit pas, ne se réchauffe pas, ne s'excite pas sous les caresses insistantes. Elle finit par dire oui et je n'ai pas souvenir d'un sentiment de plénitude. C'était fait, voilà tout.”

“And the system pretends to go along, to become more supple and resourceful, less dependent on rigid categories. But even as desire tends to specialize, going silky and intimate, the force of converging markets produces an instantaneous capital that shoots across horizons at the speed of light, making for a certain furtive sameness, a planing away of particulars that affects everything from architecture to leisure time to the way people eat and sleep and dream.”

“So love with phantoms cheats our longing eyes, Which hourly seeing never satisfies; Our hands pull nothing from the parts they strain, But wander o’er the lovely limbs in vain: Nor when the youthful pair more closely join, When hands in hands they lock, and thighs in thighs they twine, Just in the raging foam of full desire, When both press on, both murmur, both expire, They gripe, they squeeze, their humid tongues they dart, As each would force their way to t’other’s heart – In vain; they only cruise about the coast, For bodies cannot pierce, nor be in bodies lost.”
