Do NOT ask how I found out about this

The internet is a thing both pleasant and unpleasant.

Here's the full reference, from chapter one of that ancient tome of wisdom:

Hoshino Ryotetsu was the progenitor of homosexuality in our province, and although it can be said that his disciples were many, he instructed each one individually. Edayoshi Saburozaemon was a man who understood the foundation of homosexuality. Once, when accompanying his master to ado, Ryotetsu asked Saburozaemon, "What have you understood of homosexuality?"

Saburozaemon replied, "It is something both pleasant and unpleasant.''

Ryotetsu was pleased and said, "You have taken great pains for some time to be able to say such a thing.''

Some years there was a person who asked Saburozaemen the meaning of the above. He replied, "To lay down one's life for another is the basic principle of homosexuality. If it is not so, it becomes a matter of shame. However, then you have nothing left to lay down for your master. It is therefore understood to be something both pleasant and unpleasant.''

So the secret subtext of my reference is actually something like an extremely complicated way of saying "GAAAAAY"
