“A man is always devoted to something more tangible than a woman - the idea of her.”
“In fact, if he stood here staring at her bottom for very much longer, he would be saluting her with something much more tangible than an imaginary sword.”
“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
“The power of evil was nothing more than a tangible thing, something that given the strength of will, could be broken as easily as glass.”
“A man will always promise to do more than he can do to a woman he cannot understand.”
“A man needs a woman more than a woman needs a man.”
