Quotations and sayings

01Undated

In an electroencephalogram… one of her seizures was almost identical to an orgasm... Nothing happened during a seizure that couldn’t happen outside one, except that Roselyn was not in control of it and it happened all at once. Since then, she had experienced hundreds of orgasms and dozens of seizures and, though she didn’t come close to finding the latter nearly as entertaining as the former, it was always in her mind. In the midst of Dryden’s often machine gun lovemaking or her own considerably more directed and soft ministrations, it was always in the back of her mind at the moment of climax—this is a tenth of a seizure, this is a fifth of one.

02Undated

Nothing in my beliefs tells me to let my relationship with the divine interfere with romantic love, the friction of sects never getting in the way of the friction of sex.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

03Undated

Pagans earn their reputations for relaxed sexual mores, often in rebellion from the repression of their religions during adolescence. At a Pagan festival, one need only lower one's guard to be offered sex under the cloaking of the sacred.

04Undated

Sex is usually cleaner than a blood sacrifice.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

05Undated

Aw, so he used you as a penis cozy and then left? Guys are pigs.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

06Undated

Sex was this primal connection like no magick she had ever known, even separated by a millimeter of latex. She knew that some combined the two and, while she could see how this would improve the magick, it would dilute the sex.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

07Undated

I was pure, before you defiled me, and don't you forget it. As though the concept of purity is anything more than the construct of selfish, competitive men stampeding toward the women to call dibs. I'll be damned if I'm not worth stampeding toward, but the prize had better be me, hymen or no hymen.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

08Undated

It seemed inequitable at best that one could and did gain a reputation for things that left one both physically and emotionally unsatisfied.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

09Undated

There is little worse than when the person to whom you want to apologize is having great sex in your room.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

10Undated

Roselyn adored the scent of sex, the wafting aroma of angel fontanels before they earn their halos.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

11Undated

Private moments held not a candle to coitus, not even the expensive kind of candle that made the whole room smell of far off seasons.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

12Undated

Beyond these moments, she could hardly count the fumbling ministrations of boys in high school who, even to her senior prom, never went beyond sticky pleasantries. With one exception, it was just a sort of half-clothed handshake for bragging rights, none hers.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

13Undated

Eating should be an act of physical necessity or emotional joy, not something to alleviate boredom.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

14Undated

You know about witches, wizards. You can envision dragons, even if you presently think you are above believing in them. You doubt magic, but you have a word for it. Isn't that a strangeness that wears at you? All these things that you know all about, but you think you are above. Did you used to be able to shape the spell children use to find lost things in the grass? Did you always know to look at the sky, at stars, when you make your wishes? Who taught you the things your soul has always known?

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

15Undated

There are three people in your life: your great love, the one you want to have children with, and the one whom you can spend the rest of your life with. If you find that last one first, you have it made.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

16Undated

Paganism is the default of most children, since they excel at magical thinking.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

17Undated

My main nurturing instinct toward children is mild sadism--picking them up and threatening to drop them--which is why I am a good uncle but would make a poor father.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

18Undated

Things had improved after he was born. We both loved him with such fervor that it was impossible that some wouldn’t splash back on us.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

19Undated

I have never tried to walk through a mall in the Christmas season dressed like a jolly old elf. You might as well dress up like a pork chop and walk into an alley full of starving dogs.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

20Undated

It is difficult to process the sacred masculine when your closest example has been a man smacking you around, verbally degrading you, lording over you, or otherwise proving a poor demonstration of the use of strength.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

21Undated

Having ascended to some spiritual strength by focusing on the power of the feminine, it is no doubt tempting to wield this strength against that which triggers memories of having once been weaker.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

22Undated

There is a theory that men do not need Paganism because they have endless avenues of societal power available. Why use spells when one can get a bank loan with little trouble? The world already bends over backward to accommodate men, so why perfect the art of magickally shaping it?

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

23Undated

I see no reason that a man should have any issue with worshiping a goddess any more than a woman would in worshiping a male deity. It is undeniable that women, particularly in the Abrahamic faiths, have been doing just that for thousands of years, though they do like to sneak in the divine feminine under the cloak of the Virgin Mary.

Thomm Quackenbush / quote

24Undated

Women are seen as imperfect or unclean, because of a myth of a tempting apple, because they bleed monthly, because they lack equivalent upper body strength.
