“Sweet Christ, you must know that a man will go further for any poem than for any woman ever born.”

“But they both agreed that it's always nice to know that your wife is desired by another man, although they wouldn't go any further than that.”

“I would rather die than ever see you suffering this way. I don't want you or any child I ever have or any woman I ever love to go through or feel what you're going through, but it's happened and I don't know what to do.”

“And blessed be the first sweet suffering that I felt in being conjoined with love and the bow and the shafts with which I was pierced, and the wounds that run to the depths of my heart…” any man who loves this poem as I do, must be my master... And any man who feels as I do about these words must be my drinking companion.”

“I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.”

“No man goes further than he who knows not where he is going.”
