Quote

Without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.

Even among the married, sexual satisfaction must not be sought in a way which disregards man's character as a person and degrades him to the animal level.

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.

It is a natural virtue incident to our sex to be pitiful of those that are afflicted.

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.

Many women my age have known the experience of giving up crucial parts of themselves to please the man they love.
