“Of course there can be desire without love. Desire isn't passion. Desire is the natural consequence of the sexual instinct and it isn't of any more importance than any other function of the human animal. That's why women are foolish to make a song and dance if their husbands have an occasional flutter when the time and place are propitious. Does that apply only to men? I smiled. If you insist I'll admit that what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. The only thing to be said against that is that with a man a passion connection of that sort has no emotional significance, while with a woman it does. "It depends on the woman."”
