Here's the thing: this eel spends its entire life trying to find a home, and what do you think women have inside them? Caves, where the eels like to live..when they find a cave they like, the wriggle around inside it for a while to be sure that..well, to be sure it's a nice cave, I suppose. And when they've made up their minds that it's comfortable, they mark the cave as their territory..by spitting.Arthur Golden
About This Quote
The eel in the quote is very curious. It's constantly exploring and testing different places to see if they're safe, and when it finds a cave that feels right it marks that spot as its territory. When a woman finds a man who makes her feel safe and secure, she knows he's the one for her. And once she's with him she doesn't have to be with anyone else.
