distance spy use
This false distance is present everywhere: in spy films, in Godard, in modern advertising, which uses it continually as a cultural allusion.

I urge those people to distance themselves from their rulers who support the West and the occupation forces. Muqtada al Sadr
distance love-you doctors
Exhaustion was pressing upon and overpowering her. "Good-by--because I love you." He did not know; he did not understand. He would never understand.
