reading note - Bonjour Tristesse

quotes of the book:

****
"Your idea of love is rather primitive. It is not a series of sensations, independent of each other..."

I realised how every time i had fallen in love it had been like that: a sudden emotion, roused by a face, a gesture or a kiss, which i remembered only as incoherent moments of excitement. "It is somthing different ." said Anne. "There are such things as lasting affection, sweetness, a sense of loss... ...but i suppose you wouldnt understand."

****
A sense of loss. Have I/you ever missed anyone?
