Quote

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.

Men who think that a woman's past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Women are at once the guardians and the well-spring of the world's faith, morality, and tenderness; and if ever they are degraded to a commonplace level with men, this fine essential quality will be impaired, and their weakness will have to beg and follow where now it guides and controls.

In our cultural history, all emotions have been more culturally acceptable to women.

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.

Men's need to dominate women may be based in their own sense of marginality or emptiness; we do not know its root, and men are making no effort to discover it.

Women are made to be loved, not understood.

Women love to be called cruel, even when they are kindest.
