Rob Sheffield Quote

Always loved this sentence in Our Bodies, Ourselves, the Eighties edition I had in college: The previous edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves included a brief section on astrological birth control, which just doesn’t work. So much going on in that sentence, dispatched with no drama. Maybe a shade of irony, but no hand-wringing—just a change of mind announced as efficiently and discreetly and decisively as possible.
