"Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph." ― Iris Murdoch Topic(s): Women More From Iris Murdoch "One doesn’t have to get anywhere in a marriage. It’s not a public conveyance." "There is no substitute for the comfort supplied by the utterly taken-for-granted relationship." "The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all." More In Women "All women’s issues are to some degree men’s issues and all men’s issues are to some degree women’s issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose."― Warren Farrell "The primary job for women in Hollywood is still super-attractive actress. That is the most high-profile women’s job in Hollywood."― Diablo Cody "Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me."― Samuel Taylor Coleridge
