Donald Barthelme Quote

Love, which is a kind of permission to come closer than ordinary norms of good behavior might usually sanction.- Back rubs.- Which enables us to see each other without clothes on, for example, in lust and shame.- Examining perfections, imperfections.- Which allows us to say wounding things to each other which would not be kosher under the ordinary rules of civilized discourse.
