“If insemination were the sole biological function of sex, it could be achieved far more economically in a few seconds of mounting and insertion.

Love and sex do indeed go together.”

It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.”
A. P. Herbert quotes
