Listen to physicians who<br />have hypnotized women; finally, love them—let yourself be<br />“hypnotized by them”! What is always the end result?

{{Quote|"Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer than into the dreams of a lusty woman? And just look at these men: their eyes reveal it—they know of nothing better on earth than to lie with a woman. There is filth at the bottom of their souls; and it is worse if this filth still has something of the spirit in it!"|(Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, p. 81, Part 1, "Of Chastity").}} | {{Quote|"Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer than into the dreams of a lusty woman?

{{Quote|"Are you a slave? If so, you cannot be a friend. Are you a tyrant? If so, you cannot have friends. In woman, a slave and a tyrant have all too long been concealed. For that reason, woman is not yet capable of friendship: she knows only love. In a woman's love is injustice and blindness towards all that she does not love. And in the enlightened love of a woman, too, there is still the unexpected attack and lighting and night, along with the light. Women is not yet capable of friendship, women are still cats and birds. Or at best cows. Woman is not yet capable of friendship. But tell me you men, which of you is yet capable of friendship?"|(Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, pp. 83-84, Part 1, "Of the Friend").}} | {{Quote|"Are you a slave? If so, you cannot be a friend.
