“Nothing is mysterious, no human relation. Except love.”
~ Susan Sontag
“The recently released volume of Susan Sontag’s diaries, As
Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980 (public
library), is a treasure trove of insight — on writing, on censorship, on
aphorisms — from the deepest corners of one of the greatest minds in modern
history. But besides her extraordinary intellect, what made Sontag a force of
nature was also her complex and ever-evolving emotional perception, brimming
with extreme self-awareness and keen reflection on her relationships with
others.”
