"The ancients compared the female body to marble: this image is completely false. The beauty of the body is that it is not marble. Because it trembles, trembles, blushes, bleeds. Hard, without stiffness. White, but not cold. She shivers and faints. The body is life; marble is death.

The ancients compared the female body to marble: this image is completely false. The beauty of the body is that it is not marble. Because it trembles, trembles, blushes, bleeds. Hard, without stiffness. White, but not cold. She shivers and faints. The body is life; marble is death.
""A régiek a márványhoz hasonlították a női testet: ez a kép teljesen hamis. A test szépsége éppen az, hogy nem márvány. Mert reszket, remeg, pirul, vérzik. Kemény, merevség nélkül. Fehér, de nem hideg. Megborzong és elbágyad. A test az élet; a márvány a halál."
