“When she had a mind to, she took him by the arm in the middle of the night and kissed him hard. I love you, damn it. She never actually said it, but he always felt that from her: frustrated and coarse and hot. That was the way she loved him.”

“I know about the birds and the bees, Llewellyn. I wasn't born yesterday."

“Don't worry about your orgasm. Don't care about it. You've had a million orgasms in your life. Want only this. Want only total obliteration. In this way too, you are returning to the girl you were -- the girl who didn't care about orgasms, but just wanted to fuck, and fuck, and fuck, without even knowing why. Those adult years of dutifully chasing clitoral orgasms -- they seem alien in retrospect. Now you just want sensation, less definable than orgasm, and weirdly more satisfying, more total.”

In Tommy’s case, in Gary’s, and in several others they were relationships that lasted years. Intimacy for most of us is a condition that endures, however often repeated, for minutes or for hours. And these all had their many intimate hours. But, like all sane relationships, they also had limits.”

“Sexul, conform naturii lui, nu era definit de un singur organism individual, ci de acela al speciei. Individul, după terminarea actului, nu poate decît să se întoarcă la propriul său eu. Numai oamenii fericiţi se întorc la mulţumire. Cei care au fost trişti se-ntorc la disperare. Cei care erau pe moarte, se-ntorc la patul lor de moarte.”
