Lust Quotes

“Jednak kiedy udaje się w uczciwą podróż w głąb siebie, zmuszony jest stwierdzić, że jest tam tak mroczno, iż nie bardzo wiadomo, gdzie człowiek trafił... Można tak dla zabicia czasu, ale ten ucieka na sam nasz widok.”

“The Man's rage is huge. Moil and toil and turmoil, he's coming to the boil, time to cool the heat with a jet of foam. He wants the woman to take off her clothes right away.

To create himself anew, as often as need be.”
― Elfriede Jelinek, Lust

― Elfriede Jelinek, Lust

“Ah, lust! How one would like to make it the cornerstone of self! But I wouldn't go ahead and build on it if I were you.”
― Elfriede Jelinek, Lust
