Cool, unlying life will rush in, and passion will make our bodies taut with power, we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down, we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.
love body force
And whoever forces himself to love anybody begets a murderer in his own body.
men perfection can-do
The cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
