“...he will go to his grave feeling cheated, never realizing that there isn't much difference between one woman and the other, that it is the loving that creates the difference.”

“A fair and generous woman is (at best) respected, but seldom loved.”

“He has let her in not because he genuinely loved her, but only because she played so well into his preconceived fantasies.”

“...love is essentially a much simpler phenomenon--it becomes complicated, corrupted or obstructed by an unequal balance of power.”

“Love has never been understood, though it may have been fully experienced, and that experience communicated.”

“Thus her whole identity hangs in the balance of her love life. She is allowed to love herself only if a man finds her worthy of love.”
