"The happiness of man is: I will...." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. 'Behold , just now the world ... entire love. And woman must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man's disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it.

“Bad cooks - and the utter lack of reason in the kitchen - have delayed human development longest and impaired it most.”
