Physical love is unthinkable without violence
"But deep down she said to herself, Franz may be strong, but his strength is directed outward; when it comes to people he lives with, when it comes to people he loves, he's weak. Franz's weakness is called goodness. Franz would never give Sabina orders. He would never command her, as Thomas had, to lay the mirror on the floor and walk back and forth on it naked. Not that he lackes sensuality; he simply lacks the strength to give orders. There are things that can be accomplished only by violence. Physical love is unthinkable without violence."
-Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Yes. I'm reading this book again.
