I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/i_do_not_want_to_be_the_leader-i_refuse_to_be_the/346921.html">“<A href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/each_friend_represents_a_world_in_us-a_world/12691.html" class="sqq">Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.</A>”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/i_do_not_want_to_be_the_leader-i_refuse_to_be_the/346921.html">“<A href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/life_is_truly_known_only_to_those_who_suffer-lose/221905.html" class="sqq">Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.</A>”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/i_do_not_want_to_be_the_leader-i_refuse_to_be_the/346921.html">“<A href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/and_the_day_came_when_the_risk_to_remain_tight_in/12690.html" class="sqq">And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.</A></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6A710784-ED9A-41EA-B048-666C08BCC7DE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
