It lies there, quite close, but it cannot be assimilated. It beseeches, worries, and fascinates desire, which, nevertheless, does not let itself be seduced. Apprehensive, desire turns aside; sickened, it rejects.</i></p>http://abjectavatar.tumblr.com/post/337928635http://abjectavatar.tumblr.com/post/337928635Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:58:00 -0500Julia Kristeva<p><i>A certainty protects it from the shameful - a certainty of which it is proud holds on to it.
