Quotes Helen and Desire (1954) Quotes sourced from the edition first published in Great Britain in 1997 by Rebel Inc. 0-86241-629-9 The garter belt was torn, and it hung like a pretty kerchief on the gleaming flesh of my belly. The stockings were badly laddered, like those of a chorus girl in a cheap vaudeville. Ch. 5 I opened my thighs like a book. Ch. 5 She stood stark naked, as palely and supremely beautiful as a lily, her small silky mound like a soft paintbrush, wettened with ink. Ch. 6 He . . . opened her thighs like a bible. Ch. 6 She ignored the ebullient purpose of her loins, the feverish volcano which, set like a second and less modest mouth at the junction of her sweltering thighs, rubbed itself voluptuously like a cat against my thigh. Ch. 8 She was a virgin. How ludicrous for this beautiful creature to have suffered so long! I would have given anything at that moment to be a man. As it was, there was something abortive in this sweet cultivation of her. How soft she was against the fine linen sheet! What a weight of sensuality quivered in her bossy thighs! What superb husbandry the tillage of this virgin field demanded! Ch. 8 Cain's Book (1960) Quotes sourced from the Jupiter Books edition published in Great Britain in 1966 by Calder and Boyars No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats . . . these are the facts. p. 9 All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf. p. 174 External links Category:1925 births Category:1984 deaths Category:Novelists from Scotland Category:Poets from Scotland Category:University of Glasgow alumni Category:Erotica authors
