Quote by James Baldwin

The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love.


The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the night

Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of one individual having sexual dominance over another can only arise in the minds of those who are closed off to the notion of love and the fluidity of power dynamics within it. It implies that true love involves a reciprocal interplay of conquest and surrender, where both individuals willingly participate in the give and take of power. Hence, the concept of sexual dominance becomes irrelevant in the realm of genuine love and connection.
