Only by making a greater effort at historical understanding can this most secret house of death be made to yield up more of its confidences.”

“The sex that is presented to us in everyday culture feels strange to me; its images are fragments, lifeless, removed from normal experience. Real sex, the sex in our cells and in the space between our neurons, leaks out and gets into things and stains our vision and colors our lives.”
