Quotes 

• Seligman : Love is blind.

  Joe : No, no, no. It's worse. Love distort things. Or even worse, love is something you never asked for. The erotic was something that I ask for or even demanded of men. But this idiotic love... I felt humiliated by it. And all the dishonesty that follows.

  Joe : The erotic is about saying yes. Love appeals to lowest instincts, wrapped up in lies. How do you say yes when you mean no? And vice-versa. I'm ashamed of what I became. But it was beyond my control.

• Seligman : I'm Seligman.

  Joe : What a fucking ridiculous name.

• Joe : It's my own fault. I'm just a bad human being.

  Seligman : I've never met a "bad human being."

  Joe : Well, you have now.

• Seligman : [narrating]  During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.
