    A woman who ... gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover—but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    He said “Next time can I bring my friend?”
    And I thought “Does he mean friend?”
    And I thought “Yes he does mean friend.”
    Which was quite bold in those days.
    It was the Dark Ages. Men and men.
    And they could still put you in prison for it.
    And did, dear.
    —Alan Bennett (b. 1934)
