Quotes from book
Lady Chatterley's Lover
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by English author D. H. Lawrence, first published privately in 1928 in Italy, and in 1929 in France. An unexpurgated edition was not published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960, when it was the subject of a watershed obscenity trial against the publisher Penguin Books. Penguin won the case, and quickly sold 3 million copies. The book was also banned for obscenity in the United States , Canada, Australia, India, and Japan. The book soon became notorious for its story of the physical relationship between a working class man and an upper class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of then-unprintable words.
“I only want one thing of men, and that is, that they should leave me alone.”

Context: The world is supposed to be full of possibilities, but they narrow down to pretty few in most personal experience. There's lots of good fish in the sea... maybe... but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.
