“The desire that speaks first puts itself on display and, as a result, can become a mimetic model for the desire that has not yet spoken. The displayed desire runs the risk of being copied rather than reciprocated. In order to desire someone who desires us, we must not imitate the offered desire, we must reciprocate it, which is vastly different” (Girard, A Theater of Envy, pp. 80-81).
