“And if it be true that it is one of the tokens of the fully developed mind that it does not think specially or separately of sex, how much harder it is to attain that condition now than ever before. ... No age can ever have been as stridently sex-conscious as our own ...”

“Much have we loved you... But (speechless) was our love, and with veils has it been veiled.Yet now it (cries aloud) unto you, and would stand revealed before you.And ever has it been that love knows not its own (depth) until .....THE HOUR OF SEPARATION.....”

“(at age thirteen) I think sharks smile like women dad. Like Jenny's smiling at you right now. ...But have you ever noticed how porpoises smile like effeminate men? They're bi-sexual, you know. Me, I'd rather have sex with a porpoise than a shark.”

“It is not by believing but by doubting that one can attain to the truth, which is ever changing form and condition.”

“I think that leaving things to the imagination is what creates seduction. Sometimes one can have too much of a good thing. Part of the thrill of sex is the anticipation, so as a writer I'm conscious of that fact. In my view, sex is a mystery. If one focuses on the mechanics of sex or the awkwardness of two human beings communing physically, it takes away from the mysterious and sometimes transcendent aspects of it”.”

“Things are more like they are now...than they have EVER been before!”
