“As várias formas hodiernas de dissolução do matrimónio, como as uniões livres e o "matrimónio de prova", até ao pseudomatrimónio entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, são, pelo contrário, expressões de uma liberdade anárquica que se faz passar indevidamente por verdadeira libertação do homem. Uma tal pseudoliberdade funda-se numa banalização do corpo que inevitavelmente inclui a banalização do homem. O seu pressuposto é que o homem pode fazer de si o que quer: o seu corpo torna-se assim numa coisa secundária, manipulável sob o ponto de vista humano, a ser utilizado como se deseja. O libertinismo, que se faz passar por descoberta do corpo e do seu valor, é na realidade um dualismo que torna o corpo desprezível, colocando-o por assim dizer fora do ser autêntico e da dignidade da pessoa.”

“Perhaps if you were a Jewess it might be different. He'd suspect you of wanting to hook me. And he wouldn't like that at all.
