It seemed to me that this was the real reason people wanted to fuck so much. To get here. To get to this tiny, quiet place where there was nothing else to do but be with each other. Just to be two hum...
If I don't keep this job, then my only future career-options are working in Argos, or being a prostitute,' I say, wildly.'Maybe you could work in Argos a prostitute,' my mother says, merrily. She app...
I'm going to say 'Amen' now. This is a deal now. We are square on this. You will sort this out. Violet will not rat on us. Amen.
I used to fear their deaths--the car! the dog! the sea! the germ!--until I realized it need never be a problem: on the trolley, on the way to the mortuary, I would put my hands into their ribs and tak...
I cannot understand antiabortion arguments that center on the sanctity of life. As a species, we’ve fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don’t believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acc...
De lehet, hogy az ember megkérdezi magától: Én is feminista vagyok? Lehet, hogy nem. Nem tudom! Még mindig nem tudom, mi az! Túl fáradt és hajszolt vagyok hozzá, hogy kibogozzam. Még mindig nincs felt...
