“Why does a woman work ten years to change a man, then complain he's not the man she married?”

“When a woman marries she belongs to another man; and when she belongs to another man there is nothing more you can say to her.”

“A woman's mind is cleaner than a man's—she changes it oftener.”

“A man does what he can; a woman does what a man cannot.”

“When a woman behaves like a man, why doesn't she behave like a nice man?”

“When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.”

“Our prophet said: 'He is a poor man who has no woman, and she is a poor woman who has no man.' I will pick you up nevertheless and if you marry again, don't be afraid. But you know, not all men appeal to me.”

“A woman is not complimentary to a man, but she embodies his lack (which is why Lacan can say that a beautiful woman is a perfect incarnation of man's castration).”

“Men will not change as long as women ‘marry up.’ Men won't change until we have a perspective on how powerless power makes us. A woman cannot help a man change until she has a perspective on how powerless power makes men.”

“It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's
to keep unmarried as long as he can.”
