- "I don't want love. I
haven't time for it. It's weakness. I am a man, and sometimes I want a
woman. When I've satisfied my passion I'm ready for other things. I can't
overcome my desire, but I hate it ; it imprisons my spirit ; I look forward
to the time when I shall be free from all desire and can give myself without
hindrance to my work. Because women can do nothing except love, they've
given it a ridiculous importance. They want to persuade us that it's the
whole of life. It's an insignificant part. I know lust. That's normal and
healthy. Love is a disease. Women are the instruments of my pleasure ; I
have no patience with their claim to be helpmates, partners,
companion." I had never heard Strickland speak so
much at one time.

Sixpence written by W.Somerset Maugham]
