““Of course, one might object that it is impossible for one person, one woman, to represent the ideal of both agape and eros. If you will allow my indulgence for a moment, I will suggest that such skepticism is a form of misogyny. For only a misogynist would argue that women are either saints or seductresses—virgins and whores. Of course, a woman, or a man for that matter, can be both—the muse can be lover to both soul and body.””
