Warmth, perfume, rugs, soft lights, books. They do not appease me. I am aware of time passing, of all the world contains that I have not seen, of all the interesting people I have not met.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we ... believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
