“He smoked a cigarette, standing in the dark and listening to her undress. She made sea sounds; something flapped like a sail; there was the creak of ropes; then he heard the wave-against-a-wharf smack of rubber on flesh. Her call for him to hurry was a sea-moan, and when he lay beside her, she heaved, tidal, moon-driven.”
Nathanael West, Miss Lonelyhearts / The Day of the Locust

“We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”
