Quotes
- “The world belongs to women. In other words, to death. But everyone lies about it.”
- “Stop being astounded by the realization that sex is the object of such misunderstanding and of such automatic clumsiness that it implies either a universal loathing or a universal veneration (which are much the same thing).”
