My nose has been buried so deep in Dr. Zhivago the past few days. I'll finish it tonight after I get out of the shower I'm about to take (ran 2 miles & biked 8 or 9 in like 45-60 minutes or something so I'm a sweaty mess).

Anyway, these two quotations were so beautiful that I almost cried when I read them. For those of you who know me really well, you know I rarely ever cry. For those of you who don't, WELL KNOW YOU DO, SUCKAH.



"Don't be upset. Don't listen to me. I only meant that I am jealous of a dark, unconscious element, something irrational, unfathomable. I am jealous of your toilet articles, of the drops of sweat on your skin, of the germs in the air you breathe which could get into your blood and poison you. And I am jealous of Komarovsky, as if he were an infections disease. Someday he will take you away, just as certainly as death will someday separate us. I know this must seem obscure and confused, but I can't say it more clearly. I love you madly, irrationally, infinitely."

"You and I, it's as though we have been taught to kiss in heaven and sent down to earth together, to see if we know what we were taught."
