“Infatuation. First Love. Lust.
My passion can be explained away. But this is sure: Whatever she touches, she reveals.”

“In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.”

“Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.”

“She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.”

“Mary kept the belt of love, and oh, but she was gay!
She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away.”

“Accounts are not quite settled between us," said she, with a passion that equaled my own. "I can love, and I can hate. You had your choice. You chose to spurn the first; now you must test the other.”

“She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved.”

“I think she just asked if she could touch my mango.”

“I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman.”

“So she prays for a prankster and lust in the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
And he waits and he waits.”
