Philosophy Quote by Marc Cameron
““Do you know what a woman wants, Quinn-san?” “I’m not the man to ask.” He wished Thibodaux was there. The big Cajun had barrels of philosophy about women. “I think most men believe we want to be ravished—swept off our feet.” She sat on the end of the bed, one sock on, the other in her hand. “And perhaps some of us do when we are young. But what we really want is to feel safe.””
