Pathetic Reality Quotes

“Still, I was thinking that this was all wrong, despite feeling so nice, for once again one of my most sacred and deepest erotic fantasies was brutally being shattered, and once more it was all because of Ami. After all, it had been one of my fondest dreams, as a teenager, to lie in bed cuddling with a cute girl, or even with Yumi. Of course, in those many imaginations, we were both naked and we were having wild passionate sex as well as cuddling, but there before me at that very moment was the sad pathetic reality.”
― Andrew James Pritchard, Sukiyaki

“It is always pathetic to watch the efforts a man makes to cling to a straw, especially when one is oneself the straw.”
― Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven
