Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or husband:
“The idealist is incorrigible: if he is expelled from his heaven, he makes an ideal out of hell.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When her husband clutches at her dress,
she lowers her face,
her modesty aroused.
When he wants a wild embrace,
she shyly secrets away
her limbs.
She can’t say a word
and bestows her gaze
on her beaming friends.
A new wife suffers
with shame
the first time she makes love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
