"And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired..."
“And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They’re not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me Argentina”
Henry James | THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY
'Well, you're not in love with her, I hope.'
'How can that be, when I'm in love with Another?'
'You're in love with yourself, that's the Other!'
“‘Well, you’re not in love with her, I hope.’
’How can that be, when I’m in love with Another?’
’You’re in love with yourself, that’s the Other!’”
