Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“And by possession, I mean absolute, unquestioned, permanent possession—which is what desire aims at. To put it in grammatical terms, desire involves the object issuing imperatives to the subject—come and get me; be who you can be once you have me; protect me from all others, etc.”

— Adam Katz, The Grammar of Desire and Resentment · Dec 2009 · GABlog
