 | ""Do you know what I learned from you? I learned what is possible,
and now I must hold out for what I thought we had. I want to be very close
to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way
about me. That or nothing. I realized that what I"m looking for is not
what you"re looking for. You don"t want what I want." "What do you think I
want?" I asked. "Exactly what you have. Many women you know a little and
don"t care very much about. Superficial flirtations, mutual use, no chance
of love. That"s my idea of hell. Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness,
Richard, in which there is no love. Horrible! Leave me out of it."" | |
