A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man

A man’s desire is for the woman, but the woman’s desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.

Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.

A savage place! as holy and enchanted / As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By woman wailing for her demon lover!

The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she, / Who thicks man's blood with cold.

What men desire is a virgin who is a whore.
