“I seemed to be falling backward toward my mother, my grandmother, the chain of mute or angry women I came from.”

“In the dark theater Lee could feel his body pull toward Allerton, an amoeboid protoplasmic projection, straining with a blind worm hunger to enter the other’s body, to breathe with his lungs, see with his eyes, learn the feel of his viscera and genitals. Allerton shifted in his seat. Lee felt a sharp twinge, a strain or dislocation of the spirit.”

“I had a sense of dissolving, as if I, an orderly pile of dust, had been blown about by the wind all day and now was suspended in the air without a shape.”

“Only now can I visualize the room. It defies analysis.
All I can do is sink into it. I feel that the woman who is busying herself between my legs, inserting the speculum, is giving birth to me.
At that point I killed my own mother inside me.
For many years I saw that room and those curtains the same way I had seen them from my reclining position on the bed. Now it might be a room streaming with light, with Ikea furniture, belonging to a young executive who has bought the whole floor. However, I am convinced that the walls still resonate with the memory of the girls and women who went there to have a probe thrust into them.”

“I’m no plumber!' This sentence and so many other ones that punctuated this part of my life - ordinary sentences by people who uttered them without thinking - still resonate inside my brain. I wasn't 'expecting' it and nothing can deaden its impact, neither familiarity nor sociopolitical analysis. Fleetingly, I glimpse a man in a white coat with rubber gloves, beating me black and blue, yelling, I'm no plumber! In my mind, this sentence continues to split the world in two, ramming home the distinction between, on the one hand, doctors, on the other, workers or women who abort, between those who rule and those who are ruled.”
