Jeffrey Eugenides Quotes
It Was Probably True That He Objectified Women. He Thought About Them All The Time, Didn't He? He Looked At Them A Lot. And Didn't All This Thinking And Looking Involve Their Breasts And Lips And Legs? Female Human Beings Were Objects Of The Most Intense Interest And Scrutiny On Mitchell's Part. And Yet He Didn't Think That A Word Like Objectification Covered The Way These Alluring - But Intelligent! - Creatures Made Him Feel. What Mitchell Felt When He Saw A Beautiful Girl Was More Like Something From A Greek Myth, Like Being Transformed, By The Sight Of Beauty, Into A Tree, Rooted On The Spot, Forever, Out Of Pure Desire. You Couldn't Feel About An Object The Way Mitchell Felt About Girls.
