The Other:
There was a man I liked,but the first timewe made love I was afraid to look at him. I thought I was still in love with Greg and feared being overwhelmed by the idea that the man in my bed wasn´t the right one. Several months later, finally free of the ghost of Greg, and my doubts, I opened my eyes, now certain he was the one I wanted to see.I didn´t know that it would be our last night together. He was about to leave me. What happens is always so far ahead of us, that we can never catch up with it and know its true appearance."

The Razor Blade:
"I posed nude every day for a drawing class.And each day, a man drew me for three hours. At noon he would take a razor blade out of his pocket and compulsively slash the drawing he had made.I would watch. Then he would leave. The drawing would remain on the table as evidence. This was repeated every day for twelve days. On the thirteenth day I didn´t go to work."
~~~~~~~~~
The Love Letter:
"For years a love letter languished on my desk. I had never received a love letter, so I paid a public scribe to write one. A week later I received seven beautiful pages of pure poetry penned in ink.It had cost me 100 francs and the man said: "...without moving from my chair I went everywhere with you."
~~~~~~~~~
The Rival:
" I wanted a love letter, but he would not write one to me. Two months after our wedding, I noticed the edge of a piece of paper sticking out from under his typewriter. I pulled it toward me. The last line of the letter appeared:"My confession is that, last night I kissed the envelope with your letter and photo." I continued to read, in reverse:"You asked me once if I believe in love at first sight.Did I ever answer you?" At the top of the page I noticed these words were not adressed to me but to a letter "H". I crossed out the "H" and replaced it with an "S". This became the letter I had never received."

"I dreamed of marrying him.He dreamed of making movies."
~~~~~~~~~~
"I met people who were blind. Who had never seen. I asked them what their image of beauty was."
