في بنات الجيل الجديد, هل مازلن يردن أن يكن مرغوبات بهذه الشدة ؟ هل ما زلن يجوعن أنفسهن,ومازلن يقرأن المجلات النسائية التي تكره النساء بمنتهي الوضوح,ومازلن يقطعن أنفسهن بسكاكين صغيرة في اماكن بعيداص عن العيون المُتَرَقِبة,ومازلن يُزَيفن شعورهن بالوصول إلي الأورجازم مع رجال يكرهن,وما زلن يكذبن علي الجميع عن كل شئ ↗

Rather its purpose is much more the enchantment of the soul, for there is nothing physical that is not made with the intent of affecting the soul, and there is no soul that does not intend to dazzle everything physical with its sensations. ↗
