Femaleness and its sexuality are beautiful. Women have long secretly suspected as much. In that sexuality, women are physically beautiful already; superb; breathtaking.  Many, many men see this way too. A man who wants to define himself as a real lover of women admires what shows of her past on a woman’s face, before she ever saw him, and the adventures and stresses that her body has undergone, the scars of trauma, the changes of childbirth, her distinguishing characteristics, the light is her expression. The number of men who already see in this way is far greater than the arbiters of mass culture would lead us to believe, since the story they need to tell ends with the opposite moral.” ― Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth

“You know that a great deal of my happiness depends on you as I know you were always ready to advise me & I think I would never be the same if I had lost your affection. I suppose you will say I am selfish, well perhaps I am.”

— Alice Hanley, in a letter to Channing Lewis  (27 April 1908) in: “Love Across the Color Line: The Letters of Alice Hanley to Channing Lewis“
