Crazy for Vincent Quotes

“Like a luminous fish, he who glowed all night goes out into the end, to escape my caresses; I offer my lips to a black hole.”
― Hervé Guibert, Fou de Vincent

“I'm so happy that I suddenly feel cold, tenatized by a joy that freezes me. He says 'I'm wrecked, I traveled all day hitchhiking to catch up with you, let's go to your hotel.' I had only dreamed and dream of nothing but the moment I would find myself alone with him in my hotel room, and yet my lips drily reply, 'We'll go later, let's go to the screening first.' At the end of the screening, Vincent announces that he's leaving again; a burning misery follows an icy joy.”
― Hervé Guibert, Fou de Vincent

“He kissed me a second time, his mouth was dry, he drenched me with saliva, his precious commodity, what he spits on the street.”

“I know that to say 'we'll see each other tonight,' up front, and with an exclamation point rather than a question mark, gives me more of a chance than 'are you free tonight?' In surprise, there's always a moment of hesitation; he knows that I know that it contains the possibility of his resorting to a lie, and that if he says no to me it isn't necessarily that he isn't free, but that he has decided as much, that he detected a hint of pathos in my voice, and doesn't want to come to its rescue; he only says yes when we share a common prescription; he is always the diagnostician of our relationship.”
