“A megértés különbözteti meg a kurtizánt a szajhától. Minden egyes férfinak, aki belép az ajtómon, a bőrébe bújok. Ha ismerem a férfit, tudom, hogyan tegyek a kedvére. Tudom, hogyan irányítsam úgy, hogy megpróbálja megvásárolni a szerelmemet, és versenyezzen a többiekkel, akik ugyanezt szeretnék, de ne legyen rájuk féltékeny.”
― The Way of Shadows
― The Way of Shadows
“Finding out that you are not your lover’s only lover hurts, but not as much as discovering that you are the side chick … or the side dick.”
