“I do not want to be the leader. 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.”

“زنی که صاعقه وار آنک ، ردای شعله به تن دارد

فرو نیامده خود پیداست که قصد خرمن من دارد

همیشه عشق به مشتاقان ، پیام وصل نخواهد داد

که گاه پیرهن یوسف ، کنایه های کفن دارد

کی ام ، کی ام که نسوزم من ؟ تو کیستی که نسوزانی ؟

بهل که تا بشود ای دوست ! هر آن چه قصد شدن دارد

دو باره بیرق مجنون را دلم به شوق می افرازد

دوباره عشق در این صحرا هوای خیمه زدن دارد

زنی چنین که تویی بی شک ، شکوه و روح دگر بخشد

به آن تصوّر دیرینه ، که دل ز معنی زن دارد

مگر به صافی گیسویت ، هوای خویش بپالایم

در این قفس که نفس در وی ، همیشه طعم لجن دارد”
― حسین منزوی
