“A missing girl is missing only to the people who notice.”
Robert Kolker, Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery

“Every culture has a dominant ideology, and, as far as individuals assent to it, that ideology becomes part of the means of interpreting the self in the world and is seen reflected continually in the popular media, in politics, religion, education. But an ideology is never, anywhere, monolithic. It is full of contradictions, perpetually shifting and modifying itself as struggles within the culture continue and as contradictions and conflicts develop.”
Robert Phillip Kolker, A Cinema of Loneliness

“The demand for commercial sex will never go away. Neither will the Internet; they’re stuck with each other. It may no longer even matter anymore whether the sale of sex among consenting adults is wrong or right, immoral or empowering. What’s clear is that no good can come from pretending that the people who participate in prostitution don’t exist. That, after all, is what the killer was counting on.”
Robert Kolker, Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery
