Quote by R.S. Deese

“Late in 1929, Julian, then in his early forties, became infatuated during his travels to eastern Africa with a nineteen-year-old American woman named Viola Ilma, to whom he made this alarming, if vaguely absurd declaration: “I shall conquer you with my mind". The ploy apparently worked, and in a letter home, Julian peremptorily informed his wife that they were now to have an open marriage.”
