"I suppose I want just what everyone else wants: for people to know what's in my head. Oh, we come up with elaborate ways to prevent that from happening, but that's only because it's what we really do want. We want someone to know what we really are, and we want someone to love that, and we want to be able to love that they love that and see the same things about them and love that back. It really is the simplest thing, but it's just unbearably hard -- so hard that precious few of us ever get it."
