    Your idea of fidelity is not having more than one man in the bed at the same time.
    —Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)

    Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
    And stab my spirit broad awake;
    Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,
    Choose thou, before that spirit die,
    A piercing pain, a killing sin,
    And to my dead heart run them in!
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
