“Prostitution has the same relationship to trafficking as sex has to rape. One is voluntary, the other is not”— Merlyn Gabriel Miller Related Quotes “To be understood is to prostitute oneself”— Fernando Pessoa “The man at the end of the bar was looking at me. … Should I get drunk and sleep with him now? But I could see that I would regret that so much I would want to die after. I didn’t want to get involved with anyone, and I didn’t want to bear being alone with the warmth left by someone long gone.”— Fuminori Nakamura “She didn’t look like any motel manager I had ever seen. More likely an actress who hadn’t quite made the grade down south, or a very successful amateur tart on the verge of turning pro. Whatever her business was, there had to be sex in it. She was as full of sex as a grape is full of juice, and so young that it hadn’t begun to sour.”— Ross Macdonald
