John Berger Quotes

Desire Changes Its Character By 180 Degrees. Often, When First Aroused, It Is Felt As The Desire To Have. The Desire To Touch Is, Partly, The Desire To Lay Hands On, To Take. Later, Transformed, The Same Desire Becomes The Desire To Be Taken, To Lose Oneself Within The Desired. From These Two Opposed Moments Come One Of The Dialectics Of Desire; Both Moments Apply To Both Sexes And They Oscillate. Clearly The Second Moment, The Desire To Lose Oneself Within, Is The Most Abandoned, The Most Desperate, And It Is The One That Caravaggio Chose (or Was Compelled) To Reveal In Many Of His Paintings.
