Quote by Thomas Dekker

Were there no women, men might live like gods.

Were there no women, men might live like gods.

Summary

This quote suggests that having relationships with women can complicate and challenge men's lives. Without the presence of women, men would supposedly be free from emotional and societal burdens and experience a sense of freedom and superiority. It reflects on the potential conflicts and responsibilities that arise from interpersonal relationships, implying that men could achieve a utopian existence if they were unencumbered by the complexities of romantic partnerships. However, it is important to recognize the oversimplification and unfair generalization of this quote, as it disregards the valuable contributions and enriching experiences that women bring to men's lives.

To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?
