Die Menschen schleppen dieses Gewicht der Sehnsucht mit sich herum, zum Glück meist nicht sichtbar, sondern ‚latent’ – wie einen inneren blauen Fleck? – und auf einmal ist ohne ersichtlichen Grund, einfach so, jemand da (wer?), auf den diese Sehnsucht in Form von Liebe projiziert wird. Wenn die Grundmuster nicht zusammen passen, nicht übereinstimmen, gleiten sie auseinander, und die Bürde sucht sich ihren Weg zu einem anderen Menschen. Sofern sie nicht wieder unter der Oberfläche verschwindet – ‚latent’ wird. ↗

He had seemed to love it little in the years when every penny had its purpose for him; for he loved the purpose then. But now, when all purpose was gone, that habit of looking towards the money and grasping it with a sense of fulfilled effort made a loam that was deep enough for the seeds of desire. ↗

— George Eliot

I can understand where he's coming from... I too was once secretly in love with you, and I could do nothing but watch from afar. Being close to you while pretending that we're nothing more than friends. The first time I touched you with sexual intention, it was like an electrical current flowing through my fingertips and it paralyzed me. I wanted to make your senses go numb with pleasure. Not only physical pleasure, but desire too, deep inside. ↗

For her, sex was nothing more than an itch. And this phsychological and physiological neutrality of hers at once relieved her of so many human emotions and sentiments and desires. Sexual neutrality was the essence of coldness in an individual. It was a great and wonderful thing to be born with. ↗
