“Women: I liked the colors of their clothing; the way they walked; the cruelty in some faces; now and then the almost pure beauty in another face, totally and enchantingly female. They had it over us: they planned much better and were better organized.

In the end it hardly mattered; no matter what they did, we ended up lonely and insane.”
