Quotes by Brian Glanville (?)

“There never was a woman yet that didn't have this in the back of her mind the whole time, this feeling that sex is a bargain, she gives it to you because she expects something in return, and what she expects is you'll give her the rest of your life. I couldn't see this, to me it didn't seem a bargain at all.”
― Brian Glanville, The Rise of Gerry Logan
