Quote by Lebo Grand

“Sensuality is subjective. What turns you on won’t appeal or make sense to everyone. Not everyone will find your brand of sensuality cute, intoxicating or even morally acceptable, and that’s ok. Just do you.”

“[Emily se ptá Madison na kluky ta převipráví co jí řekli zákařné spolužačky o rozmnožování] A podle toho co mi řekli, kluci tak zoufale touží líbíat se s holkama z jendoho jediného důvodu: totiž při každé puse jim o něco poporoste frantík. Čím víc holek kluk líbá, tím delšího frantíka nakonec má – a ti klici, kteří se pyšní tím nejdelším, potom získají nejlíp placená místa a neprestižnější pracovní místa. *str185-186*”

“I rubbed my eyes. They felt like they were coming loose. Soon they'd slip out of their sockets and I'd be left to wander blind and staggering this land of longing and ache. The things I would have done for a hit. If that asshole who'd kicked me out onto the side of the road had offered me some dope I would have sucked anything he wanted, would have pleaded on my knees topless, would have let him plunge a hand through my ribs and tear out my heart, anything.”

Why should I have to give you more?” “So how is it fair that I give you exactly what you want and I don’t get what I want?” “What haven’t I given you? Think long and hard before you answer, because you came your brains out last night.” “I—” “Yeah.

I almost never get what I want in life. I get some things, but almost everything, even the shit I work really hard for? I know I would get even more if I were a man. Especially a white man.” (pp. 190-191, Kindle Edition)”

“Tapi apa yang wajib kita lakukan agar terjadi evolusi karakter dan hasrat? Konflik adalah jawaban singkatnya. Ya, kita punya kewajiban terhadap karakter kita untuk berkonfrontasi dengan dunia dan penolakannya dalam menganugerahkan seluruh keinginan kita seketika, sekaligus konflik dalam diri kita yang dimungkinkan oleh kapasitas kita untuk berpikir sendiri. Aku ingin X tapi apakah sebaiknya Aku ingin X? Kita benci terhadap kekangan tapi pada saat yang sama mengerti bahwa kekangan membebaskan kita, jika pun hanya dengan membantu mempertanyakan motif-motif kita sendiri. Dengan kata lain, kebahagiaan autentik adalah sesuatu yang mungkin tanpa ketidakpuasan maupun kepuasan. Alih-alih diperbudak oleh kepuasan, kita membutuhkan kebebasan untuk tidak terpuaskan.”
