C.S. Lewis

from his marvelous book, "Four Loves"

"The sternest feminist need not grudge my sex the crown offered to it either in the Pagan or in the Christian mystery [of marriage]. For the one is of paper and the other of thorns. The real danger is not that husband may grasp the latter too eagerly, but that they will allow or compel their wives to usurp it."
