By midlife and early old age, as the hormones of both genders change, women are in total, despotic control of their marriages.“ — Camille Paglia „Male mastery in marriage is a social illusion, nurtured by women exhorting their creations to play and walk. At the emotional heart of every marriage is a pietà of mother and son.“ — Camille Paglia „A sacrament--like marriage--means living a life better than your natural instincts, so that you're modeling God. And God never gives up.“ — Jodi Picoult
