Susan Sontag, from As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980; February 17th, 1970

Text ID: I don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall—like seeking love in a whorehouse.

“My library is an archive of longings.”

"We both shared the same story but yours ended happily and mine ended without you " We can never stop someone from leaving us, we can't stop them, when they want to leave our hand they will, We really can't force anybody. You just will be waiting for them to come back , for their one look , for their text , even just for their ignorance you will wait . Idk what people will call that, maybe madness or they will call you crazy but it's just your love for that one person . I mean how can I just accept that we happily ended up?? Its just too much to accept as reality that people who were yesterday your forever are no more anything to you . And the misery is you Cant stop them from leaving, because you love them and they are happy without you.

“The longing to touch/be touched. I feel gratitude when I touch someone—as well as affection etc. The person has allowed me proof that I have a body—and that there are bodies in the world.”

“I feel profoundly alone, cut off, unattractive...  I feel unloveable. But I respect that unloveable soldier — struggling to survive, struggling to be honest, just, honourable. I respect myself.”

— Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980.

— Diane Arbus, “Susan Sontag alone on a bed. N.Y.C.𝟣𝟫𝟨𝟧.”
