Eroticism, it may be said, is assenting to life up to the point of death

I don't want your love unless you know i am repulsive,and love me even as you know it.

A kiss is the beginning of cannibalism.

The need to go astray, to be destroyed, is an extremely private, distant, passionate, turbulent truth.

Not every woman is a prostitute, but prostitution is the natural apotheosis of the feminine attitude.

It is clear that the world is purely parodic, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form.

The sexual act is in time what the tiger is in space.

We have in fact only two certainties in this world - that we are not everything and that we will die.

We want to decipher skies and paintings, go behind these starry backgrounds or these painted canvases and, like kids trying to find a gap in a fence, try to look through the cracks in the world.

Nothing makes a person desire improvement like failure

To me it's sexier when it doesn't look like you go to the gym. I feel best when I'm not really thin and not really heavy - when I'm still curvy.

I had a planned C-section and I cried the entire day before I had the baby.

Everywhere I go, I can't wear everything a designer creates. I'm a little more gritty.

It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it's been a quest since then to define who we are.

I began to realize that thinking itself is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions.

Any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
