I can imagine nothing more wonderful than always wanting to keep a man. It's this NOT wanting to keep them, and yet not quite being able to disentangle one's self, never quite having the ruthlessness to stike at the hands on the gunwale with an oar until they let go - that's the horrible thing.

I've always been monogamous - [within it] I've been in love with people, but very platonically.

And like I told my wife, the America that I don't want to live in, is Charlottesville.
