What a fun page. I found this (below) from Lem (whom I have read
everything translated into English), but always thought the quote was
"Man is a man riding on the back of a pig, trying to deny the existance
of the pig". I thought it was Shaw.
I undoubted latched onto the quote marriage quote from Fear Of Flying. I
remember nothing of the book (consciously) except that it got more
attention than it deserved, and the line about her panties being so wet
you could "mop the streets of Vienna with them".

begin paste:

Psychoanalytic doctrine reveals the pig in man, a pig saddled with a
conscience; the disastrous result is that the pig is uncomfortable
beneath that pious rider, and the rider fares no better in the
situation, since his endeavor is not only to tame the pig, but also
to render it invisible.
