'The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.”

“conclude, what Thomas Mann really wanted was a limited physical relationship with beautiful young men: the opportunity to gaze at them, an occasional touch, a restrained kiss.

“Concluderò perciò dicendovi che a mio avviso il femminismo è tutt'altro che superato, e che bisogna anzi mantenerlo vivo; opporvisi, negarlo, non significa superare qualcosa, significa regredire. Penso che il femminismo sia una causa comune per l'uomo e per la donna, e che gli uomini riusciranno a vivere in un mondo più equo, meglio organizzato, un mondo più valido, soltanto quando le donne avranno uno status più equo e più valido; la conquista dell'uguaglianza tra i sessi li riguarda entrambi. D'altra parte, le donne non devono limitarsi a rivendicazioni specifiche. Bisogna che ne allarghino la portata, e che lottino anche a fianco degli uomini per un cambiamento generale della società, perché riusciranno a fare trionfare la propria causa solamente aiutando il progresso dell'umanità tutta intera.”

And it is this latter power which eternal Love possesses and exhibits. He persistently dwells in the sinner until the sinner wakes up in His likeness and is satisfied with it.”

In two months or two years you'll start to realize it.”
