Sontag

On Sunday, Laura showed me an article on Susan Sontag in the Times.

I have brain fatigue and heart-ache. (9.3.1962)

I SHOULDN'T TRY TO MAKE LOVE
WHEN I AM TIRED.
I SHOULD ALWAYS KNOW WHEN I AM
TIRED, BUT I DON'T.
I LIE TO MYSELF; I DON'T KNOW
MY TRUE FEELINGS. (8.14.1961)

The fear of becoming old is born of the recognition
that one is not living now the life that one wishes.
It is equivalent to a sense of abusing the present. (12.9.1961)

The greatest crime: to judge.
The greatest failing: lack of wholeheartedness.
