J: it's my fault. i'm just a bad human being.
S: i don't understand this self hatred.
J: i've consciously used and hurt others for the sake of my own satisfaction
i discovered my power as a woman, and used it without any concern for others. that's completely unacceptable
S: what i wanted to say was that “if you have wings, why not fly?”
S: i divide humanity into two groups: the people who cut the nails of the left hand first, and who cut the nails of the right hand first. my theory is the people who cut the nails of the left hand first are more light- hearted. They have a tendency to enjoy life more, because they go straight for the easiest task and save their difficulties for later. so what do you do?
J: always the left hand first. i don't think there's a choice. go for the pleasure first always. and then when you've done the left hand, only the right hand remains. and that's the easiest one left.
S: i've never thought of it like that.
J: it was rebellious. we weren't allowed to have boyfriends. no fucking the same guy more than once.
S: what did you rebel against?
J: love. we were committed to combat the love-fixated society.
B: the secret ingredient of sex is love.
J: for me, love was just lust with jealousy added. everything else was total nonsense. for every hundred crimes committed in the name of love, only one is committed in the name of sex.
J: precisely like the movements of a caged animal. Basically, we are all waiting for the permission to die.
