Learning to love.
“The necessity for this book is to be found in the following consideration: that the lover’s discourse is today of an extreme solitude. This discourse is spoken, perhaps, by thousands of subjects (who knows?), but warranted by no one; it is completely forsaken by the surrounding languages: ignored, disparaged, or derided by them, severed not only from authority but also from the mechanisms of authority (sciences, techniques, arts).”
This ‘fragment’ opens Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments, a highly methodical work that serves as a virtual glossary of the words lovers use in their discourse.
