“The magic of sex is it's acquisition without the burden of possession. No matter how many women you take home, there's never a storage problem.”

“The bearing of a child takes nine months, no matter how many women are assigned.”

“No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you're not superior to sex. It's a very risky game. A man wouldn't have two-thirds of the problems he has if he didn't venture off to get fucked. It's sex that disorders our normally ordered lives.”

“I did not know that history is like a blood stain that keeps on showing on the wall no matter how many new owners take possession, no matter how many times we pint over it.”

“It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession”

“We had put almost all of our possessions in storage, which was a metaphor for being twenty, as were so many things.”
