"I think the anti-prostitution feminists need to do some consciousness-raising amongst themselves about their feelings. But that's a different political activity.

He stuffed a fistful of deadly rounds in his pocket, thinking how each one could end an individual life, and understanding why such things were forbidden. Killing a man should be harder than waving a length of pipe in their direction. It should take long enough for oneâ€™s conscience to get in the way.”
“A capacity for hating the object of desire is, perhaps, the best cure for love in cases of disappointment.”
“Use the words "I feel because I" to remind us that what we feel it isn't because of what the other person did, but because of a choice I've made.”
“A man who says he has never been scared is either lying or else he's never been any place or done anything.”
“I'm tired of hearing all this talk from people who don't understand the process of hard work-like little kids in the back seat asking 'Are we there yet?' Get where you're going 1 mile-marker at a time.”
