Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Image
A great commotion immobilized her in her center of gravity, planted her in her place, and her defensive will was demolished by the irresistible anxiety to discover what the orange bells and whistles and the invisible globes on the other side of death were like.
