"Nobody should have to choose between a cold heart and a dead heart."
Emotion
"A story unwritten is without beginning or end. But in its potential lies another story; and in the heartbeat before pen meets page, both stories exist at once, reflecting endless permutations of the other, before one of them disappears forever."
Storytelling
"In my experience, the romance novels written about BDSM have about as much in common with actual BDSM relationships as a child playing with a jump rope."
Romance
"Ask yourself what a man without guile might do to your body in the dark."
Desire
"The Lord teaches forgiveness, but some things are unforgivable."
Morality
"I cannot breathe, or see, nor swim,My darkness is composed of him."
Emotion
"Her world fragmented into dozens of sharp, cutting shards, shedding the salty blood and saltier tears that ringed the bitter cocktail of her despair. She was caterpillar and butterfly, both, caught in a cocoon of raw nerves and open sores; she was insanity, wrapped up in the thin, transient wrappings of a temporary lucidity; and she was afraid, because an innate desire lay in the bottom reaches of her psyche for the very poison that was killing her."
Emotion
"When they figure out how to bottle up orgasms and sell them as a food additive, I'll be first in line."
Humor
"So you thought you could shit and eat at the same time. How disgustingly convenient."
Morality
"Fire and water, logic and reason-those footholds of reality that you mortals hold so near and dear become like so much mist on the plains of the dreamscape."

"When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman."

"Point being that you don't have to get too worked up about us, dear educated minds. You don't have to think of us as real girls, real flesh and blood, real pain, real injustice. That might be too upsetting. Just discard the sordid part. Consider us pure symbol. We're no more real than money."

Therefore, it is necessarily a struggle to eradicate the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels, as well as a commitment to reorganizing society so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires."
