The difficult option is to decide where the line should be drawn and this, surely, is the responsiblity of any civilized and democratic country."

Next Quote
A man and a woman are new to one another throughout a life-time, in the rhythm of marriage that matches the rhythm of the year. Sex is the balance of male and female in the universe, the attraction, the repulsion, the transit of neutrality, the new attraction, the repulsion, always different, always new.
— D. H. Lawrence
