“Now would all the waves were women, then I'd drown, and chassée with them evermore!”
“My story would satisfy Desi's craving for ruined women -- I was now the most damaged of them all.”
“All my life I'd gone for women who were a little off.”
“Women were like rivers, their banks were unreachable, the night often rang with the cries of the drowned.”
“Some people, I saw, had drowned right away, and some people were drowning in slow motion, drowning a little bit at a time, and would be drowning for years. And some people, like Mick, had always been drowning, they just didn’t know what to call it until now.”
“If I were a girl, I'd despair. The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them.”
