    “The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they’ve reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you’re just horny. It doesn’t mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten.”
    —Jules Feiffer (b. 1929)

    “I saw a staring virgin stand
    Where holy Dionysus died,
    And tear the heart out of his side,
    And lay the heart upon her hand
    And bear that beating heart away;”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
