The woman is narrowed by the home, and the man is narrowed by the woman.
Golda Meir, originally named Goldie Mabovitch, later Goldie Myerson

Where there is an ongoing relationship of caring. Where there is a sense of humor. Where there is a sense of mutual mercy. Where there is a sense that God has given sex to you… there is nothing livelier. But when it is merchandised as a commodity for instant gratification, there is nothing deadlier than sex.
