Quote

I would never exchange my life with anybody else's.

I'd spent my whole adult life considering myself an independent entity, my life filled by work and friends and family. Suddenly I had a male partner, someone I woke up with and went to sleep with every night.

Me, as a human, I never want to take away another human being's choices or lifestyles or anything.

I would have had fun doing just about anything.

I just love to experience things. I would do almost anything once.

I'd always been treated like an object, not like a human.

Pleasure is nothing else but the intermission of pain.

I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life.

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.
