Dhammapada 283, 284


Cut down the whole forest of lust, not a tree only! 

Danger comes out of the forest of lust. 

When you have cut down both the forest of lust and its undergrowth, then, Bhikshus, you will be rid of the forest and free! 

So long as the love of man towards women, even the smallest, is not destroyed, so long is his mind in bondage, as the calf that drinks milk is to its mother.
