Quote by Anne Garréta

“To clutch someone in my arms took on, without fail, a singular sense of indignity, the taste of putrefaction. When I embrace someone I am submerged in a feeling of infamy, in the nauseating sensation of having an orgasm in a charnel house, among the noxious fumes of decomposing flesh. I am revolted by flesh, but this revlusion, failing to deaden the assaults of my libido, merely infects them with a cadaverous terror.”

“Sex doesn't help you to get to know a guy. It clouds your judgment and often causes unmarried couples to think they have more in common than they really do. If they do marry, their lack of compatibility often comes to the surface later....One of the blessings of purity is that it brings such faults to the surface sooner rather than later.”

“Most of us have moments, no matter how big or tiny, that affect us greatly in life. It's inevitable that we will all make mistakes and experience things we wish we hadn't. These good and bad memories will always live and breathe in our minds but it's how much we let them affect our everyday lives that is important. Do we let these thoughts and stories define us? Or can we see them for what they are: moments. Slices of time that occurred, had a directional purpose in our lives, then moved and changed into a new moment.”
