"'But in her heart what every woman wants is to be some kind of goddess, I think -- men pick up a ruined echo of that thought and try to put them on pedestals ... but what a man senses is not what a woman wants. A woman wants to be in the clear, is all. To stand if she will, or walk .... Or to drive, Homer. A man will not see that. He thinks a goddess wants to loll on a slope somewhere on the foothills of Olympus and eat fruit, but there is no god or goddess in that. All a woman wants is what a man wants -- a woman wants to drive.'"
Ophelia Todd speaking in "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut," by Stephen King
