Quote by Marguerite Yourcenar
Men who care passionately for women attach themselves at least as much to the temple and to the accessories of the cult as to their goddess herself.
Summary
This quote suggests that some men who have strong feelings for women become highly enamored with not just the women themselves, but also everything associated with them. The analogy of the temple and its accessories represents the devotion and dedication these men have towards their "goddess" (a metaphorical term for the women they care about). It implies that these men not only value the women themselves but also the aspects and elements surrounding them, emphasizing their depth of affection and the level of importance they place on the relationship.
