“My love for you is a prayer, she thought. Love is the only prayer I know.”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

“A woman's body is the gate to this life. A man's body is the gate to the next life.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Antelope Wife

“She gave her husband such a night of sexual pleasure that his eyes followed her constantly after that, narrow and hot. He grew molten when she passed near other men, and at night they made their own shaking tent. They got teased too much and moved farther off, into the brush, into the nesting ground of shy and holy loons. There, no one could hear them. In solitude they made love until they became gaunt and hungry, pale windigos with aching eyes, tongues of flame.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Antelope Wife

“Your eye will no longer linger on the light, it will no longer trace constellations. You'll care only about the darkness and you'll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe you're some kind of indispensable, universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
