Emile, or On Education Quotes

Man says what he knows; woman says what pleases. He needs knowledge to speak; she needs taste. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Emile, or On Education Quotes)

Man says what he knows; woman says what pleases. He needs knowledge to speak; she needs taste.[L’homme dit ce qu’il sait, la femme dit ce qui plaît; l’un pour parler a besoin de connoissances, et l’autre de goût.]
