"Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena ofÂ absolute pauperization. Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women, others with none. Itâ€™s whatâ€™s known as â€˜the law of the marketâ€™â€¦ In a totally liberal sexual system certain people have a varied and exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude."

“We are all born equally far from the sun.”
“The confusing lesson whipped Frankie's anger into something she had never felt before. It was like an emotional meringue - the airy feeling of loneliness topped with the hard crisp of injustice. Yet its taste was far from sweet.”
“We had a kettle; we let it leak: Our not repairing made it worse. We haven't had any tea for a week... The bottom is out of the Universe.”
