A Lover's Discourse: Fragments by Roland Barthes

5.0

"there is not only need for tenderness, there is also need to be tender for the other: we shut ourselves up in a mutual kindness, we mother each other reciprocally; we return to the root of all relations, where need and desire join. the tender gesture says: ask me anything that can put your body to sleep, but also do not forget that i desire you - a little, lightly, without trying to seize anything right away."
