“When [men] see a pretty woman, and feel the delicious madness of love coming over them, they always stop to calculate her temper, her money, their own money, or suitableness for the married life.... Ha, ha, ha! Let us fool in this way no more. I have been in love forty-three times with all ranks and conditions of women, and would have married every time if they would have let me. How many wives had King Solomon, the wisest of men? And is not that story a warning to us that Love is master of the wisest? It is only fools who defy him.” IfsMenWayLoveFeelsHas BeensStoriesThreeLove IsWifeConditionsMastersFoolKingsMarriedLet MeMadnessFortyWarningTemperDeliciousThree TimesWisestMarried LifeBeen In LoveSolomonPretty Woman Author:William Makepeace Thackeray

“Of course we in Europe also have epidemic, structural sexual violence. Violence is always the dark core of dominance. The men who are now coming to us from Islamic cultural circles are, of course, shaped by conditions there, which are still much more antiquated than here. That's a problem that we have ignored for far too long. In the name of a false tolerance, we have accepted that women are kept at home like prisoners and are forcibly married.” MenLongStillsProblemHomeCoursesNamesDarkViolenceConditionsHe ManMarriedEuropeAcceptedCoreToleranceCirclesIslamicPrisonerIgnoredEpidemicsDominance Author:Alice Schwarzer
“It was an all-white church. It was starting to decline. They had to hire a new pastor, and they hired him. But he came under the condition that "I want and I'm called to make this a multiethnic church." So they knew. He's interesting because he's part-Asian, part-white. He's married to a Hispanic woman, so that's their family and that's their vision.” WantChurchWhiteInterestingVisionConditionsMarriedStartingDeclinePastorAsianHispanic Author:Michael Emerson
