Sex
Quotes - Sex is like money; only too much is enough
“Saturday
12 July 1823 [Halifax]
Could
not sleep last night. Dozing, hot & disturbed ... a violent longing for a
female companion came over me. Never remember feeling it so painfully before
... It was absolute pain to me.”

“Adriana
loved even the rank animal smell of the man's body, her sweat-slicked breasts
and belly flattened beneath him, and her arms and legs clutching him as a
drowning woman might clutch another person to save her life. Don't don't don't
don't leave me. DON'T LEAVE ME. As in animal copulation the frenzy is to be
locked together not out of sentiment or choice but physical compulsion. As if
bolts of electric current ran through both their bodies and would only release
them from each other when it ceased.”

“Sylvie
wishes the anti-depressants had been around when she was in her early twenties,
not only to rescue her from the dark tunnels that came when her brother first
got sick, but also to keep her from fucking all those assholes.”

“If
one starts with the anatomical difference, which even a patriarchal Viennese
novelist was able to see was destiny, then one begins to understand why men and
women don't get on very well within marriage, or indeed in any exclusive sort
of long-range sexual relationship. He is designed to make as many babies as
possible with as many different women as he can get his hands on, while she is
designed to take time off from her busy schedule as astronaut or role model to
lay an egg and bring up the result. Male and female are on different sexual
tracks, and that cannot be changed by the Book or any book. Since all our
natural instincts are carefully perverted from birth, it is no wonder that we
tend to be, if not all of us serial killers, killers of our own true nature. ”

“You
will never put yourself or any of my men in danger again. You could have
slipped, fallen, broken your pretty neck, or fucking died. And I bet you didn’t
even think about a sniper taking you out from afar.”

“Doll
bends over, checking a barrel; she got hips on her under that skirt, sturdy,
bovine, though she’d kill him if he said as much. His cheek yearns for her lap,
for her stroking hands, for her fantastically common reek of beer and ham and
Parma Violets.”

“John
[the father] kept saying, "You have a penis. That means you’re a
boy." One day, Shannon noticed that her son had been in the bathroom an
awfully long time and pushed the door open. "He had a pair of my best,
sharpest sewing scissors poised, ready to cut. Penis in the scissors. I said,
'What are you doing?' He said, 'This doesn’t belong here. So I’m going to cut
it off.' I said, 'You can’t do that.' He said, 'Why not?' I said, 'Because if
you ever want to have girl parts, they need that to make them.' I pulled that
one right out of my ass. He handed me the scissors and said, 'Okay.”

“Great,
she didn't lie to me. "Mind if I tag along with you? I would love to have
some company. Please don't say no. I don't know if I can take it if you turn me
down, beloved," he spoke inaudibly. "Remember the last time we were
at an art gallery together?" he asked. "Sure I do," she
remarked, walking slowly. Wish I hadn't gone anywhere with you, Creepville!”

“And
now you're off to Port Caynn. Watch them sailor lads. They'll have your skirts
up and a babe in your belly afore you know what you're about."
"Everyone
keep warning me about sailors," I complained. "Why can't someone tell
the sailors to stay clear of me?"
Granny
snorted. "Oh, you're the fierce one now! Just take care no one else
catches you unawares and knocks you on the nob!”
