“Ownership, even in love, is an illusion. No woman owned any man and no man owned any woman.”

“Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.”

“The normal fuck by a normal man is taken to be an act of invasion and ownership undertaken in a mode of predation. Woman have been chattels to man as wives, as prostitutes, as sexual and reproductive servants. Being owned and being fucked are or have been virtually synonymous experiences in the lives of woman. He owns you - he fucks you. The fucking conveys the quality of ownership - he owns you inside out.”

“A woman without a man cannot meet a man, any man, of any age, without thinking, even if it's for a half-second, 'Perhaps this is THE man.”

“She was constitutionally unable to endure any man being in love with any woman not herself...”

“A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.”
