Additional quotes by Djuna Barnes

Those who love everything, as those who love a city, in its profoundest sense, become the shame of that city, the detraques, the paupers; their good is incommunicable, outwitted, being the rudiment of a life that has developed, as in man's body are found evidences of lost needs.

So love, when it has gone, taking time with it, leaves a memory of its weight.

A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow.
