The Demon Who Believes In Innocence
Tuesday, Jan. 06, 2004

As Sophistica gave me the Colette, she said something like, "I thought it might be good for you to read because of the recent, you know."

And I understood perfectly.

From Colette's The Pure and the Impure:

"The wily lunatic is lost if through the narrowest crack he allows a sane eye to peer into his locked universe and thus profane it. Afterward, it is the sane eye that changes, is affected, becomes fascinated with the mystery it has seen and can never cease to question. The more sensitive the lunatic, the less able is he to resist this prying interest of the normal human being."

"But I did return, because the friendship one has given to a human being who is already going to pieces, is already headed toward [his] downfall, does not obey the dictates of pride."

"There are fewer ways of making love than they say, and more than one believes..."

"How hard it is for respectable people to believe in innocence!"
