Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch.
You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch.
You're so afraid of being somebody's fool,
Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool.
You walk cool, but darlin', can you walk the line?
And face the ties that bind.
The ties that bind,
Now you can't break the ties that bind. (Bruce Springsteen)

Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch. You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch. You're so afraid of being somebody's fool, Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool. You walk cool, but darlin', can you walk the line? And face the ties that bind. The ties that bind, Now you can't break the ties that bind.

When there was bad behaviour – and Kevin consistently danced right out on that line of bad behaviour – I couldn't do that much to discipline him because the nature of minority government is kind of everybody's got their hand on the grenade and anybody could pull the pin.

Julia Gillard

You gotta be cool when you're macho man, cuz you can't be sensitive and care about someone having a good time in bed, cuz that's too scary... When you don't use sensitivity when you're having sex, or share some of your soul, nothing gonna happen, because men really get afraid. Men really get scared in bed.

Richard Pryor

How full and rich a world Theirs to inhabit is- Sweet scent of grass and bloom, Playmates' glad symphony, Cool touch of western wind, Sunshine's divine caress. How should they know or feel They are in darkness? But, oh, the miracle! If a Redeemer came, Laid finger on their eyes- One touch and what a world, New-born in loveliness!

Israel Zangwill

Can you be happy with the movies, and the ads, and the clothes in the stores, and the doctors, and the eyes as you walk down the street all telling you there is something wrong with you? No. You cannot be happy. Because, you poor darling baby, you believe them.

Katherine Dunn

The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.

Ignatius of Loyola
