I don't apologize for being sexually adventurous. Why not? It was often fun. When it wasn't - I didn't continue what wasn't pleasant.

Attention is love, what we must give children, mothers, fathers, pets, our friends, the news, the woes of others. What we want to change we curse and then pick up a tool. Bless whatever you can with eyes and hands and tongue. If you can't bless it, get ready to make it new.

When I work I am pure as an angel tiger and clear is my eye and hot my brain and silent all the whining grunting piglets of the appetites.

It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover.

Everything you study, everything you learn, makes you a better writer, because you have more understanding of how things work.

If sex is a war, I am a conscientious objector: I will not play.

Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.
