Craig Thompson Quotes
Her lips tarried at mine. Baiting each other with the warmth of our breath, barely grazing, detouring, then connecting.
Thompson, Craig. Blankets. Top Shelf Productions, 2003, p. 297.
The Islamic Prophet had a surprisingly modern view of reasonable sexual activity—one which would not become generally accepted until the 20th century. This quotation is from the Hadith which is essentially a collection of quotations reported by contemporaries of the Prophet. Although valid for Muslims, the Hadith is less well known than the Koran which is recited by all good Muslims. For example, studies have shown that Muslim men do not follow this sexual prescription in most cases and few Muslim men or women even know that the Mohammed weighed in on this intimate a subject. See {586914} for another sexual prescription.
