The best sex takes us somewhere. Somewhere warm and expansive, a paradise of lust and happiness. Sex is and can be and should be but only very rarely is an act of communion with something bigger than ourselves. Men fuck and women make love, people say, but we men make love when we fuck a woman we adore: it’s the same thing to us. We mean it sincerely. I had places inside me only Cathy could fill with her body, and I made her happy with my body more than I ever thought I could.
Deborah SmithHappy people look young. You’re really afraid of getting older, aren’t you? You should only be afraid of getting less happy.
Deborah SmithThere’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing.
Deborah SmithI stood there, my head bowed, my shoulders hunched. This is how it feels to be dragged from the cement shoes of a comfortable rut. The slow, steady strain on my legs became an excruciating amputation. My ankles pulled free from my feet. Bones snapped, cartilage tore, veins pulsed blood onto the soft brown clay of the yard.

We spend the rest of our lives trying to remember why we ever loved so passionately and how we dreamed so simply, before life chiseled us down to the core.

Deborah SmithTemos de nos reconciliar com os obstáculos que não conseguimos derrubar. Admitir que fazem parte de algo que não foi desenhado por nós e que nem sempre podemos alterar.
Deborah SmithAs pessoas querem fazer parte de algo maior, algo mais profundo do que elas próprias. Algo pelo qual valha a pena viver, valha a pena morrer. Algo tão maravilhoso que estão dispostas a correr o risco de serem chamadas loucas, o risco de nadarem sozinhas nas águas mais escuras, determinadas a mergulhar nas profundezas para encontrarem algo especial, algo que possa durar para sempre.
Deborah SmithA vida é fugaz. A vida é preciosa. Temos de gozar cada momento. A sensualidade de respirar, de sentir, de querer.
