“A woman should be able to kiss a man beautifully and romantically without any desire to be either his wife or his mistress.”
“A man who kisses his wife when he goes into a clinch with her, should look deeply into her eyes also.”
“The king lifted a hand to her cheek and kissed her. It was not a kiss between strangers, not even a kiss between a bride and groom. It was a kiss between a man and his wife, and when it was over, the king closed his eyes and rested his forehead in the hollow of the queen's shoulder, like a man seeking respite, like a man reaching home at the end of the day.”
“Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.”
“A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife.”
