“The word love has by no means the same sense for both sexes, and this is one cause of the serious misunderstandings that divide them.”

“Eroticism means "caused by love." That is eroticism's meaning. (Erotic vs. porn) Real sex is erotic.”

“The difference between sex and love is that sex relieves tension and love causes it.”

“The Phoenix riddle hath more wit

Mysterious by this love.”

“The prejudice against color, of which we hear so much, is no stronger than that against sex. It is produced by the same cause, and manifested very much in the same way. The negro's skin and the woman's sex are both prima facie evidence that they were intended to be in subjection to the white Saxon man.”

“Without the heroic, man has no meaning; without the economic, he has no sense. Economic man is most likely to be economic woman — a good wife, pulling the coat tails of her heroic husband, checking his extravagances of speech and action with words of caution and good sense. But without the heroic coat tails to pull, life for both of them would be dull and savorless indeed.”
