Lydia Hamilton Smith

"The time spent with a lover is an ending in itself, not a prelude to a more desirable circumstance"

".I just feel that a man's appetite for plurality corresponds to their tremendous reproductive potential."

"It wasn't love. It wasn't romance. I don't know what to call it, but it was much more refreshing than fairy-tales and deceitfully implied suggestions of a future together"

"I realized something profound: love is it's own entity. It stands by itself or else I wouldn't have been able to remain in love without the man who inspired it."

"I wanted all that was due to me"
