“I said nothing about it to my father. I began to dream of an enemy, at night, during the day. And in my dreams morality and immorality were so intertwined that soon I couldn't tell one from the other. I was twenty.”

“What interested Füsun most was not my body, nor was it the “male body” in general. It was her own form and her own pleasure that most occupied her. She needed my body, my arms, my fingers, my mouth, to find the pleasure spots and potentials of her body, her soft skin.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“Changed?” replied Drogo. “No, absolutely not.” “You’re just saying that because you don’t find me as attractive as before. Tell the truth!” Was it really Maria speaking? Wasn’t she teasing him? Drogo listened to her words, hardly believing what she said. From one moment to the next he hoped she would drop that elegant smile, that sweet manner, and burst out laughing. “Of course! I find you most unattractive,” Giovanni would have replied in the good old days as he slid an arm around her waist, and she would have pressed against him. But now? It would’ve been absurd, a joke in poor taste. “I don’t think that at all,” said Drogo. “You’re exactly the same, I swear.”
― Dino Buzzati, The Stronghold
