quickie QUOTES

1 " As Atwood concludes after a random and informal sampling, men and women differ markedly in the 'scope of their threatenability': 'Why do men feel threatened by woman?' I asked a male friend of mine....'[M]en are bigger, most of the time...and they have on the average a lot more money and power.' 'They're afraid women will laugh at them,' he said. 'Undercut their world view.' Then I asked some women students in a quickie poetry seminar I was giving, 'Why do women feel threatened by men?' 'They're afraid of being killed,' they said'. "

2 " Starshine’s greatest challenge is deciding whether a woman is too young to soothe or too old to shame. Handling the men is much easier. They may feign interest in figures and photos, but their underlying interest is for breasts and thighs. A generous smile often adds an extra zero to a check; an additional inch of exposed cleavage can clothe five Laotian children. The vast majority of these men do not expect to purchase Starshine’s favors. They are husbands, fathers, pillars of the community, the sort of upstanding middle-aged patriarchs who would rather castrate their libidos than compromise their reputations, and even if their three-digit donations could earn them a quickie with the canvasser, they would deny themselves the pleasure. "

― Jacob M. Appel , The Biology of Luck

3 " I wiped my jaw with a forearm, half imagining that I could still feel the product of the quickie out back of the bar. "

4 " Judge me if you must, but keep in mind how very little pleasure I could have possibly derived from a one-thrust sex session, a quickie in a closet, and a come-free drunken hookup.

If anything, you should feel sorry for me. "

― Kate Madison , Spilled Perfume: A Memoir (Spilled Perfume #1)

5 " I can think of another quickie education for a child, which, in its way, is almost as salutary: Meeting a human being who is tremendously respected by the adult world, and realizing that that person is actually a malicious lunatic. "

― Kurt Vonnegut Jr. , Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!

6 " Drawing and painting is like a quickie in bed. Were as novel writing is a long term relationship, much more fulling. "

7 " Gripping her hips in his hands, he thrust into her, and her eyes closed, her head tilting to the side as he pumped in and out of her, wondering how a quickie in the back of a limo could be the hottest sex he’d had in a long time. It’s her. It’s always been her. "

― Codi Gary , Good Girls Don't Date Rock Stars (Rock Canyon, Idaho, #2)

8 " Something tells me there’s more than one shaman in Vegas who performs weddings. I think we’re better off intercepting them at the fight.”
“But they could be getting married right now!” Ivy protested, falling into a double-time step to keep up with his pace.
“Lucky we’re in Vegas, then. They have quickie divorces to go with their quickie weddings. "

― Linda Morris , By Hook or By Crook

9 " Does speed dating necessarily end up in a quickie divorce....? "

10 " When I was five and Sarah seven, my mother went on a trip. She was gone from our home in Rochester, New York, for several days. But she was often gone — not always from the house but missing from our lives nonetheless. Then one day Sarah and I returned from school to find her standing at the door, a piñata in her hand, smiling her spellbinding, I-am-overjoyed-at-the-sight-of-you smile. Now when I imagine that scene, my mind’s eye puts a sombrero on her head, but I doubt she was wearing one. She had just come home from a trip to Juarez, Mexico, where she had obtained a quickie divorce. She told us she was taking us to live in Florida. We had no idea where – or what – Florida was. “There will be oranges there,” she said. “They’re everywhere. You can reach up and pull them off the trees. "
