Andre Gorz Quotes
What Captivated Me About You Was That You Opened The Door To Another World For Me. The Values That Dominated My Childhood Had No Place There. That World Enchanted Me. I Could Leave The Real World Behind And Be Someone Else, Without Any Ties Or Obligations. With You, I Was Elsewhere, In A Foreign Place, Foreign To Myself. You Gave Me Access To Another Dimension When I'd Always Rejected Any Fixed Identity And Just Worn Different Identities On Top Of Each Other, Though None Of Them Were Mine.
By Speaking To You In English, I Made Your Language Mine. I've Continued To Talk To You In English Right Up To This Day, Even When You Answered Me In French. For Me, English, Which I Knew Mainly Through You And Through Books, Was From The Start Like A Private Language That Preserved Our Intimacy Against The Intrusion Of The Real World, And Its Prevailing Social Normals. I Felt Like I Was Building A Protected And Protective World With You.
