“Until women and men begin to think of knowledge as an erotic space of connection, both self understanding and understanding of the other, we cannot change our sense of romance“. This chapter eats ‼️‼️

“That women who have suffered much heartache still long to love is a testament to love’s power.” ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

“Wise women know that the happiest, most fulfilling committed partnerships (legalized via marriage or not) are those in which mutuality is the core value, in which the spiritual growth and development of each individual matters.” 🤍🤍🤍🤍

“Wisdom is needed if we are to demand that our culture acknowledge the journey to love as a grand, magical, life-transforming, thrilling, risky adventure.”

The past two chapters have been so good! Two more to go

“But we knew from experience that females together could produce households of sharing and mutuality, of pleasure and delight, households where womanness was at the center and mattered.”

“As long as men continually get messages about
avoiding commitment while women are taught to desperately seek it out, the sexes will always be at odds with each-other and nothing will work."

“Love is the foundation on which we build the house of our dreams. It's a house with many rooms. Relationships are part of the house, but they are not everything and never could be. The key is balance.”

“most women search for love, hoping to find recognition of our value.”

“Saying no to any devaluation and debasement of the female body is a loving practice.”
