SHAME

  
There are certain things I don’t think there’s any reason to be ashamed of -- things having to do with one’s own body. How do I lose any dignity by telling you that I go to the bathroom or that I have sex? I’m not telling you I’m doing anything that everyone doesn’t do. There are things one should be ashamed of doing, but they have to do with hurting other people.

-- Samuel R. Delany
