- Women! There isn't anything so bad that they don't soon start to enjoy
it. Even if they lived in a barrel of shit they'd start making a home
out of it, with everything nice and cozy.
- I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and
unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks
out of the race, where the immortal garland is to be run for, not
without dust and heat. Assuredly we bring not innocence into the world,
we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and
trial is by what is contrary. That virtue therefore which is but a
youngling in the contemplation of evil, and knows not the utmost that
vice promises to her followers, and rejects it, is but a blank virtue,
not pure; her whiteness is illusory.
- John Milton
- Women think it is unfair to judge them lacking in virtues they are not
even interested in.
- Indiscretion: the guilt of woman.
- A woman sometimes feels pity for the sorrows that she causes without
remorse.
- Woman's dearest delight is to wound man's self-conceit, though man's
dearest delight is to gratify hers. There is at least one creature lower
than man.
- There are some meannesses which are too mean even for man - woman,
lovely woman alone, can venture to commit them.
- No matter how much a woman loved a man, it would still give her a glow
to see him commit suicide for her.
- A woman rarely discards one lover until she is sure of another.
- Love is the emotion that a woman feels always for a poodle dog and
sometimes for a man.
- Women have no sympathy . . . And my experience of women is almost as
large as Europe. And
