Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.

Women are exciting for this one reason - it is the secret of women's allure - women enjoy submission, being bound.

Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.

Normal men retain their childish longing for a woman to mother them. At adolescence a new desire is added. They want a girl to allure them. When you put these two together, you have the typical male yearning that Wonder Woman satisfies.
