Hello,

I'm paraphrasing here: "Nothing quenches sexual desire more than intellectual achievement." I believe it was a Greek philosopher whom said this. Could you provide me with the exact quote, plus the name to whom it belongs?

Thank you,

Really? That would depend upon which pencil a person considers their writing instrument.

Socrates probably died by death from a thousand hen-pecks that can turn the stoutest rooster to mush, and ancient progressive feminists changed the facts to poison, because women had to cook the food so you better be nice ...

... but seriously, Socrates was smart enough to edify his only remaining pleasure by calling it a know-nothing philosophy.
