“I learned from him that we should attempt a total surrender to whatever atmosphere was offering itself at the moment; in a squalid town to seek out those very places where its squalor rose to grimness and almost grandeur, on a dismal day to find the most dismal and dripping wood, on a windy day to seek the windiest ridge. There was no Betjemannic irony about it; only a serious, yet gleeful, determination to rub one's nose in the very quiddity of each thing, to rejoice in its being (so magnificently) what it was.” ― C. S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy”

“Every married woman needs to make love with her husband twice daily especially if she is over 30. At this age, you really need regular orgasms and regularly release estrogen, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, opiorphin, dopamine to prevent prolapse as you age, which is the main reason women ask for love making at forty, pay for it at fifty, pray for it at sixty and wish they can have it at seventy. Regular love making and orgasms can help you prevent vaginal atrophy and minimize the effects of menopausal syndrome such as hot flashes, night sweats, menstrual irregularities, vaginal dryness, depression, nervous tension, palpitations, headaches, insomnia, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, waist pains and dizzy spells especially if you are over 40.”
