“I definitely need to love a man. But a real man. A man who could sweep me off my feet without resorting to brute strength. Without asking anything of me, without controlling me, or degrading me, a man who could love me and walk by my side. In other words, a truly powerful man, a real man.” LoveWomenRomanticWomen Empowerment Book:Kürk Mantolu Madonna Source: Kürk Mantolu Madonna
“The truth was she could not find it in her to love me. And with good reason. Never in my life has anyone loved me, ever. In any case, women were mysterious creatures. Passing my mind over all the women I had known or observed, I was driven to conclude that true love was beyond them. When they were in a position to love, they did not. Instead, they ached for the unattainable — the opportunities missed, the salve that their broken hearts longed for — thereby mistaking their yearning for love.” LoveWomenTrue LoveBroken HeartYearningUnrequited Love Book:Madonna in a Fur Coat Source: Madonna in a Fur Coat
“But what I hate most is women always having to be passive … Why? Why are we always the ones running away and you are the ones chasing after us? Why is it always that we surrender and you take the spoils? Why is it that even in the way you beg, there is dominance, and pity in the way we refuse?” MenWomenFeminism Book:Kürk Mantolu Madonna Source: Kürk Mantolu Madonna
