he wants a woman to take something from him to give herself up so much that she could take the last realities of him the last facts the last physical facts physical and unbearable ~D.H.Lawrence (Women in Love)

one of the largest gifts you can give her is your capacity to open her heart when it is closed your masculine thunderbolt of love can brighten her darkness in a way she can’t do for herself shout at her louder than you ever have and then kiss her passionately press your belly into her until she melts move her body into your body open her heart with your humor penetrate her closure with your fearless presence open her again and again and again she could do it by herself but if she could grow more by herself than by receiving your gifts perhaps she shouldn’t be with you ~David Deida (The Way of the Superior Man)
