The Desire Which A Man Has For

Immanuel Kant
The desire which a man has for a woman is not directed towards her because she is a human being, but because she is a woman ; that she is a human being is of no concern to the man; only her sex is the object of his desires.

Women Desire Concern

More From Immanuel Kant

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. she cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. if by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. if by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? without her, man could not be. if nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. it ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. it ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. it ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. i’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - modern slavery.
Talking Common Humanity Names
Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. the mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. in the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. this unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.
Mother Children Attitude
I have urged on woman independence of man, not that i do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. i wish woman to live, first for god's sake. then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved.

Similar Quotes
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. it is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Love Art Mystical Experiences
For men, as a rule, love is but an episode which takes place among the other affairs of the day, and the emphasis laid on it in novels gives it an importance which is untrue to life. there are few men to whom it is the most important thing in the world, and they are not the very interesting ones; even women, with whom the subject is of paramount interest, have a contempt for them.
Love Is Men Interesting
Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with that and manage it against despairing thoughts.
Hope Lovers Staff
All human love is a faint type of god's; an echoing note from a harmonious whole; a feeble spark from an undying flame; a single drop from an unfathomed sea: but god's is infinite; it fills the earth and heaven, and the broad, trackless realms of space.
