Quote by Mark Twain
The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman's construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle -- yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.
Summary
This quote is a controversial statement that argues that women are inherently sexually active and desirous of intercourse as commanded by a divine law. It suggests that throughout their lives, except during pregnancy, women are constantly ready and competent for sexual interaction with men. The quote uses vivid imagery of a candlestick ready to receive a candle to emphasize the supposed natural and perpetual sexual desire of women. However, it is important to note that this quote presents a one-sided and reductionist view of women's sexuality, ignoring the complexities and individual variations within human nature.
