If You Go To See The Woman,

The Degree And Kind Of A Man's Sexuality Reach Up Into The Ultimate Pinnacle Of His Spirit.

Man Is At His Furthest Remove From The Animal As A Child, His Intellect Most Human. With His Fifteenth Year And Puberty He Comes Astep Closer To The Animal; With The Sense Of Possessions Of His Thirties (the Median Line Between Laziness And Greediness), Still Another Step. In His Sixtieth Year Of Life He Frequently Loses His Modesty As Well, Then The Septuagenarian Steps Up To Us As A Completely Unmasked Beast: One Need Only Look At The Eyes And The Teeth.

Man Wishes Woman To Be Peaceable, But In Fact She Is Essentially Warlike, Like The Cat.

He Who Fights Too Long Against Dragons Becomes A Dragon Himself; And If You Gaze Too Long Into The Abyss, The Abyss Will Gaze Into You.

Thus Strength Is Afforded By Good And Thorough Customs, Thus Is Learnt The Subjection Of The Individual, And Strenuousness Of Character Becomes A Birth Gift And Afterwards Is Fostered As A Habit.
