Call Me by Your Name | André Aciman
If you remember everything, I wanted to say, and if you are really like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you’re just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there’s not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, turn to me, even in jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name.

Call Me by Your Name | André Aciman
How you live your life is your business. But remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can’t help but live as though we’ve got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there’s only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it.

Call Me by Your Name | André Aciman
...In your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out, don’t be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we’d want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!”

Call Me by Your Name | André Aciman
What if it came and didn’t let go, a sorrow that had come to stay, and did to me what longing for him had done on those nights when it seemed there was something so essential missing from my life that it might as well have been missing from my body, so that losing him now would be like losing a hand you could spot in every picture of yourself around the house, but without which you couldn’t possibly be you again. You lose it, as you always knew you would, and were even prepared to; but you can’t bring yourself to live with the loss. And hoping not to think of it, like praying not to dream of it, hurts just the same.

Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
mo dorme co’ li muorte accompagnata.
She always wept because she slept alone,
Now she sleeps among the dead.
I can, from the distance of years now, still think I’m hearing the voices of two young men singing these words in Neapolitan toward daybreak, neither realizing, as they held each other and kissed again and again on the dark lanes of old Rome, that this was the last night they would ever make love again.

...he said, “Call me by your name and I’ll call you by mine,” which I’d never done in my life before and which, as soon as I said my own name as though it were his, took me to a realm I never shared with anyone in my life before, or since.

Lady Godiva (1898) by John Collier
The story goes that one man, a Tailor named Tom, was the only person to steal a look at the naked Lady. He was blinded as punishment.
And that's where we get the phrase Peeping Tom.
This is so sad because throughout history, women have been insulted by men whose egos were, are, and always will be bigger than their fucking brains.

Everyone deserves regular breaks and a long lunch.
The constant tap-tap-tapping of your fingers, the rapid eye movements scanning screens-these aren't signs of efficiency but desperation. Put down the phone. Close the laptop. Taste your food. The world won't collapse if you disappear for an hour.
