Frailty, thy name is woman!
For whom will a woman lie? Sometimes for herself, usually for the man she loves, always for her children.
Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.
Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution – it is called pregnancy.[Alles am Weibe ist ein Räthsel, und Alles am Weibe hat Eine Lösung: sie heisst Schwangerschaft.]
Every woman is supposed to have the same set of motives, or else to be a monster.
Every woman adores a Fascist.
Don’t wait for the good woman. She doesn’t exist.
Do not trust a woman who talks of her virtue.[Méfiez-vous d’une femme qui parle de sa vertu.]
Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.[La curiosité est une des formes de la bravoure féminine.]
Courageous, unconcerned, scornful, coercive – so wisdom wisheth us; she is a woman, and ever loveth only a warrior.[Muthig, unbekümmert, spöttisch, gewaltthätig – so will uns die Weisheit: sie ist ein Weib und liebt immer nur einen Kriegsmann.]
Children, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty.[Il n’y a que des enfants aimants et aimés qui puissent consoler une femme de la perte de sa beauté.]
Child, it’s a very bad thing for a woman to face the worst that can happen to her, because after she’s faced the worst she can’t ever really fear anything again.
