Women do have an affinity for evil, for believing that no woman is to be trusted, but that some men are too innocent to protect themselves.
Women could compress a great deal into one look.
Women can only love; men act; they have a thousand ways in which they are bound to act. But we can only think, and pray, and worship.
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine without batting an eyelash and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least! Women are wonderful realists.
Women are the chief stumbling block in a man’s career.[Женщины – это главный камень преткновения в деятельности человека.]
Women are tenacious, and all of them should be tenacious of respect; without esteem they cannot exist, esteem is the first demand that they make of love.
Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death.
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.
Women are necessarily capable of almost anything in their struggle for survival and can scarcely be convicted of such man-made crimes as “cruelty.”
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.[The Sphinx Without a Secret]
Women are like the Olympic athletes of grudges.
