“Sure God created man before woman, but then again you always make a rough draft before creating the final masterpiece.”

“Woman was taken out of man; not out of his head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled underfoot; but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved.”

“When I think of talking, it is of course with a woman. For talking at its best being an inspiration, it wants a corresponding divine quality of receptiveness, and where will you find this but in a woman?”

“Women always worry about the things that men forget; men always worry about the things women remember.”

“Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.”

“Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.”

“When a man gets up to speak, people listen, then look. When a woman gets up, people look; then, if they like what they see, they listen.”
