"Only the strong can be gentle"

[thatbeastagain]

Sensei Davy Jones used to say that one. It would be more accurate, perhaps, to say "truly gentle", or "certain kinds of gentle"--but that wasn't Sensei Jones' style. He'd put something simple out there, and leave it there for you to play with.

It's true, of course. Gentleness is not weakness...

...but if you're gentle because you're not strong

Chosen submission comes from a position of strength rather than a position of weakness.

Or at least a position of "will work for chocolate".

Stop, you will make me blush!

Oh, this is brilliant.
