“La muerte, en abstracto, no nos importa. Lo que me importa a mí, y ahora lo descubro, es mi muerte. La mía. La mía sola, que nada puede arrebatarme y nadie puede compartir. [...] No es morir, no es siquiera saber que se va a morir, es saber que se va a morir y aceptarlo. Los perros se mueren y no lo saben, los más de los hombres se mueren y lo saben, pero no lo aceptan, llegan a la muerte como un niño al dentista, pataleando y chillando. Sólo reciben los plenos dones de la muerte los que saben y además lo aceptan. Los que celebran sus bodas con la muerte.”

“But the second kind seek out the women who love women, who can procure a young man for them and add to the pleasure which they get from finding themselves with him; much more, they can, in the same way, find the same pleasure with them as with a man. [...] For in the relationships they have with them, they play the role of another woman for the women who love women, and the woman offers them at the same time more or less what they find in a man, so that the jealous friend suffers from feeling that the man he loves is inseparable from the woman who is for him almost a man, at the same time as he feels him almost escaping from him, because, for these women, he is something he does not know, a sort of woman.”
