“[...] el amor -la irresistible afirmación de lo personal- era lo que provocaba -y sigue provocando- la oposición más virulenta por parte de la autoridad. Una sociedad represiva puede tolerar una gran cantidad de actividad sexual, siempre y cuando ésta pueda ser canalizada por donde la autoridad lo desee. El Imperio romano aprobaba las orgías. La prostitución se propagaba desmesuradamente en la época de la reina Victoria. Hitler cantaba las alabanzas del sexo para la procreación. Pero el amor -el verdadero amor erótico y personal- puede hacer temblas los cimientos de un imperio y no puede ser tolerado.”

“it somehow felt dissociating. A world in which I did not belong to, or could never belong to. Parties, as if it was 1920, transpired days and nights, spent in the bliss of alcohol, self-indulgence, sex and drug abuse. As if we humans were whores addicted to the ignorance and bliss of nothingness that drugs, sex and alcohol brought about. A never-ending freedom in which we could always come back to if we needed to. Luxurious, the life of the rich.”
