Quote by Blake Nelson

“It's hard to imagine talking to Lucy. But I can imagine sleeping with her. I have been imagining it quite regularly. I can't stop imagining it. Maybe it's time for my first Lucy Branch, my first truly physical relationship. And why do I assume it would be a bad thing? Maybe it's better with someone different from you. I could teach her how fluorocarbons affect the ozone. She could teach me about oral sex. We would both become better people.”

And when you come right down to it, I don't want sex right now. I supposed you punched that into the computer? 'Cut down sex drive, increase euphoria'? Anyway, it finally penetrated my little brain that I was just making trouble for myself, worrying about whether I could get along without something I really didn't want. It's a reflection of what I think other people think I should want.”

“Atas dasar apa kau mengatakan aku terpencil dari kehidupan manusia normal dan mengatakan jiwaku kosong?" "Karena prinsipmu yang telah usang itu. Manusia normal hidup dalam nilai-nilai. Manusia yang jiwanya tidak kosong masih punya pegangan. Agama adalah pegangan yang paling kokoh. Kau telah mengenyampingkan kedua faktor yang kusebutkan itu." "Kita semua hidup dalam nilai-nilai dengan konsekuensi bersedia menerima pergeseran. Aku telah bergeser dari nilai yang secara mayoritas telah melembaga, kalau soal kawin yang kau maksudkan. Tapi mengatakan aku tidak punya pegangan, aku tidak dapat menerimanya. Aku masih beragama. Karena itu tadi aku masih berani mengatakan, aku melanjutkan kelangsungan hidupku dengan menumpuk dosa.”

“I don't mind admitting that I, too, have watched Hilton undergoing the sexual act. I phrase it as crudely as that because it was one of the least erotic such sequences I have ever seen. She seemed to know what was expected of her and to manifest some hard-won expertise, but I could almost have believed that she was drugged. At no point did her facial expression match even the simulacrum of lovemaking.”
