Eric Van Lustbader (born 1946) is a writer of fantasy and thriller novels
"Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passivesex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hatechange of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal."
