Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a god for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a god, and we know that they are not as tender as all that. You have already seen me cry. Now you must learn to relish my tears.

I wasn't young, I wasn't pretty, it was necessary to find other weapons.

To love is to live on the precipice.

I think that submissiveness can [be] and is a formidable weapon, which women will use as long as it isn't taken from them.

By my makeup and temperament I wasn't really prey to physical desires. Everything happened in my head.

I found that stiffly saluting member, of which he was so proud, rather frightening, and to tell the truth I found his pride slightly comical. I thought that that must be embarrassing for him, and thought how much more pleasant it was to be a girl. That, by the way, is an opinion I still hold today.

A truly submissive woman is to be treasured, cherished and protected for it is only she who can give a man the gift of dominance.
