When a woman loves you she's not satisfied until she possesses your soul. Because she's weak, she has a rage for domination, and nothing less will satisfy her.

About This Quote

This is a rather interesting assessment of what love is. It is entirely possible that the author of this quote was using symbols to communicate something else. For example, by using the words "woman" and "rage" he was likely talking about power or control. People who are in love often feel like they are under the domination of their partner, especially if they are not in control of much else in their life. The need for stability comes into play here, which can make the desire for power even stronger.
