Erica Jong
“if sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities, it’s because they lead to the knowledge that you own your own body - and with it your own voice - and that’s the most revolutionary insight of all”
Erica Jong

Carla H. Krueger
“Don’t mock my suggestions, Ridley – one day in the near future, they might just save your life.” Maxwell D. Kalist.”
Carla H Krueger, From the Horse’s Mouth
