Quote #10
Only how, how could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this God, let me be loved. (1.3.25)
Joel's deepest desire is for his isolation and loneliness to be cured. He knows that love is what's missing; especially after his mother's death, the feeling of being loved has probably been something he's longed for. But he doesn't seem hopeful that he will get it; he calls it indefinite and meaningless.
