“But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

“It looks very much, as if these men are likely to assign a penis to a certain type of woman (the "proletarian whore") whose penis they fear as an instrument of castration. The men experience "Communism" as a direct assault on their genitals!”
― Klaus Theweleit, Male Fantasies: Volume 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History

“You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

“Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me, and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-labourers' hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally, as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill humour or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
