Physical Needs Quotes

“To elevate our human experience, we translate the material into its spiritual essence. Home is love, peace, and nurturing. Family is spiritual co-habitation, respect, and appreciation for another’s existence. Work is purpose, service, creativity, and usefulness. Money is freedom and generosity. Success is goodwill, energy, intelligence, and initiative. This way, we will find that supply is available in its most profound sense. We will also find that it will not tend to turn sour.”

“Early modern Europe held that if a wife looked elsewhere for sex, her husband bore the blame for failing to satisfy her at home. This may even been part of the reason why Queen Anne was accused of straying with so many men. Just one liaison, and people would ask why the king had failed. Five, and attention turned to the queen's insatiable appetite, her carnal sickness, and the king became a victim of a wicked woman, not an example of failed masculinity. Anne's testimony ruined this tidy picture. Not only had the queen and her ladies-in-waiting been discussing Henry's abilities in the bedroom - something to make any man wince - but, far worse, they had been laughing at him, and now everybody knew it.”
