"Say whatever you want. Say lesbianism is simply one kind of response to Otherness. Say the whole point of love is to try to get your fingers through the holes in the lover's mask. To get some kind of hold on the mask, and who cares how you do it." (查看原文)
"Then tell them to look closely at men's faces. Tell them to stand perfectly still, for time, and to look into the face of a man. A man's face has nothing on it. Look closely. Tell them to look.

"Tell them there are no holes for your fingers in the masks of men. Tell them how could you ever even hope to love what you can't grab onto." (查看原文)
