If you were on a deserted island what (book, cd, film, painting) would you want with you? The Bible

What do you appreciate in a woman? What makes me angry today is that in the streets there’s an exhibition of women’s parts of the body. In a woman I appreciate her maternity instinct, her femininity and the part when she cares about the man as she would care about her son.
