We didn’t domesticate cats. They domesticated themselves. But not totally, you know? You take a good look at any house cat, and you can tell there’s eventually going to be a day when it goes back wild, you know? When it reverts to its true nature. You fall over and die in a house with your dog, and your dog will lie down beside your dead body, maybe right on top of it, and starve to death. But a house cat will feast on your eyes as soon as its stomach starts growling. Sherman Alexie

Depending upon one another's hearts, ye had still hoped that virtue were not all a dream. Now are ye undeceived. Evil is the nature of mankind. Nathaniel Hawthorne
On one hand the eternal attraction of man towards femininity (cf.

On the other hand, "lust" limits this gamut, obscuring the pyramid of values that marks the perennial attraction of male and female. Pope John Paul II
