To those privileged ones -- among whom we count ourselves -- the high-resounding "isms" to which their contemporaries ask them to give their allegiance are all equally futile: bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble; bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success, if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious, and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men; all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail.

The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.

I must begin with a brief observation: in the unconscious of every man there is a hidden feminine personality, and there is a hidden masculine personality in every woman.

It is a well-known fact that sex is determined by a majority of male or female genes. The minority of genes of the other sex do not disappear. Man therefore has within himself a side of feminine characteristics, that is, he himself has an unconscious feminine form, a fact of which he is generally not the least bit aware.
