"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home."
- Anna Quindlen

Lady Chatterley's Lover - D.H. Lawrence

"All the great words, it seemed to Connie, were cancelled for her generation: love, joy, happiness, home, mother, father, husband, all these great, dynamic words were half dead now, and dying from day to day.  Home was a place you lived in, love was a thing you didn't fool yourself about, joy was a word you applied to a good Charleston, happiness was a term of hypocrisy used to bluff other people, a father was an individual who enjoyed his own existence, a husband was a man you lived with and kept going in spirits.  As for sex, the last of the great words, it was just a cocktail term for an excitement that bucked you up for a while, then left you more raggy than ever.  Frayed!  It was as if the very material you were made of was cheap stuff, and was fraying out to nothing."

 

D. H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover, pg. 55
