Quote by Jutta Swietlinski

“Look, Clara,” I say enthusiastically and raise my hand to show my lover the beautiful butterfly couple, but then I realize that she’s already noticed them. Sitting up, she nods to me with a smile. Her gaze follows them, just like mine, until they’ve finally disappeared out of sight, without rushing and without a destination. Now Clara turns to me, with a smile that lights up her deep, dark eyes. The most beautiful sight in the world, I think dreamily, gently plucking a thistle from her disheveled hair. “That’s certainly a good omen,” she says, lost in thought. “For what?” I ask, smiling. She winks at me. “For the future. For our life. For whatever you want.”

“I am opposed to animal welfare campaigns for two reasons. First, if animal use cannot be morally justified, then we ought to be clear about that, and advocate for no use. Although rape and child molestation are ubiquitous, we do not have campaigns for “humane” rape or “humane” child molestation. We condemn it all. We should do the same with respect to animal exploitation. Second, animal welfare reform does not provide significant protection for animal interests. Animals are chattel property; they are economic commodities. Given this status and the reality of markets, the level of protection provided by animal welfare will generally be limited to what promotes efficient exploitation. That is, we will protect animal interests to the extent that it provides an economic benefit.”

“Nazmahal, Sonnet (Palace of Grace) Love is nothing to be ashamed of, if there is no filth in your heart. If your heart is pure and chaste, you have no reason to be shy or scared. Shame and fear are mark of filth, heart without blemish is icon of honor. Basic flaws are part of everyday life, but perversion isn't a flaw, it's dishonor. I've never looked at a person with filth, unless permitted otherwise. It's consent and context that distinguish fondness from filth. Lovers ablaze are resident of Nazmahal*, perverts have no place in *palace-of-grace. Honor is in the eye of the beholder, without which all mind is disgrace.”

“În ochii lui, ea era perfectă și reprezenta frumusețea întruchipată. Numele i se potrivea perfect, Freya – zeița frumuseții, dragostei, fertilității în mitologia scandinavă, asociată în același timp și cu războiul. Femeia din brațele lui era delicată, feminină și frumoasă, dar se putea transforma cu ușurință într-o furtună care distrugea totul în calea ei. Era războinică și încăpățânată, așa cum îi plăcea lui. Independentă și puternică. Rațională și inteligentă. Și, din acel moment încolo, a lui.”

“Freya se simțea precum o carte deschisă în mâinile lui. Emoțiile, sentimentele, toate trăirile ei puteau fi citite atât de ușor de el, încât nu le putea ascunde. Parfumul lui avea note subtile de citrice, ce îi inundau simțurile, impregnându-se în memoria ei ca o amprentă olfactivă a acelui moment.”
