“A succulent wild woman is one of any age who feels free to fully express herself in every dimension of her life.”
“If one were to live his life fully and completely were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream.”
“Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.”
“No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body.”
“She carried a knife inside of herself now, one that was always cutting her. She could feel it every time she swallowed, every time her thoughts strayed from the splendor of the wild.”
“As Anne watched her, she could not help thinking of the age-old question every woman asks herself at some time or other: do I have to swallow it?”
