Quotes |
Sullivan:
Could I made you blush ? Could I embarrass you ? Friendship: Can't blush. Got no liquids. Sullivan: Oh, you can't blush ? You've got no shame. You know that Darwin once said that blushing is the most human of responses. It doesn't occur anywhere else in the animal kingdom. It requires self-consciousness. It speaks of things that you may have admitted to yourself but you won't admit to others. Friendship: It's all to do with sex. Feeling flurried. Tingling. Glow. Enough to attract, not to intimidate. Blushing gives you away. It reveals your desires, your inadequacies. It's always sincere. That's why I can't blush. I can't be sincere. See more » |
