“I had fallen out of my secure world, precipitated beyond the territories I had only begun to control so skillfully. What a foolish step to take. What an insane move to make.”
“So much of my life had been under tight control. So much of Quinn's life had been wild insanity. What we needed now was both: a directed burst of controlled insanity.”
“I had the urge to examine my life in another culture and move beyond what I knew.”
“Male territorial insanity yields only to another male. What a difference the possession of a penis makes!”
“Waiting for the end to come,Wishing I had strength to stand,This is not what I had planned,It's out of my control”
“I had to let go first. Trying to control the timing and outcome was a terrible waste of energy. My intentions were already out there and I had taken what action I could. My only job now was to get out of the way.”
