“OGAREV (nostalgically): Ah, Saint-Simon. The rehabilitation of the flesh.
SASHA: What's that?
OGAREV: We all get our bodies back, taken from us by Christian guilt. Yes, that was a good one, Saint-Simon's Utopia … the organisation of society by experts, and as much you-know-what as you want.
HERZEN: Pardon me, it was the development of man's whole nature, moral, intellectual, artistic—not just our sensuality … in the case of which, some of us didn't need encouragement.
OGAREV: Yes, but without the shame, without the confessing and swearing never to do it again.
HERZEN: I meant you.
OGAREV: I meant me, too.”
