Quote by Ann Somerville

“Arman groaned. “You’re definitely taking all the romance out of this.” “I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “But sex is silly and it’s funny, and it doesn’t always work—you need to get that idea out of your head or you’ll get depressed if it’s not all magical.”

“Having lived with a few women, every now and then they seem to want to challenge the power balance in the relationship. They are the takers after all, not the givers, in the sexual sense. And I feel they resent this. They love the opportunity to get on top, or to stick their finger in your ass. I think this challenge of power, is derived from their discontent of sexual submission.”

“Nature,” on the original planet, had meant what was not controlled by human beings. “Nature” was what was substantially previous to control, the raw material for control, or what had escaped from control. Thus the areas of Dichew where few people lived, quadrants that were undesirably dry or cold or steep, had been called “nature,” “wilderness,” or “nature preserves.” In these areas lived the animals, which were also called “natural” or “wild.” And all the “animal” functions of the human body were therefore “natural” — eating, drinking, pissing, shitting, sex, reflex, sleep, shouting, and going off like a siren when somebody licked your clitoris.”
