LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER
39
"My God!— 'If they be not nice to me
What care I how nice they be?’—
"No, it’s hopeless! I just simply can’t vibrate in unison with a woman. There’s no woman I can really want when I’m faced with her, and I’m not going to start forcing myself to it. . . My God, no! I'll remain as I am, and lead the mental life. It’s the only honest thing I can do. I can be quite happy talking to women; but it’s all pure, hopelessly pure. Hopelessly pure! What do you say, Hildebrand, my chicken?"
"It’s much less complicated if one stays pure," said Berry.
"Yes, life is all too simple!"
