“We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Our sex is ultimately laid down by our genes.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens
