“They obeyed, as wise men do when a woman puts her foot down…”

“A woman loves to be obeyed at first, although afterwards she finds her pleasure in obeying.”

“When a woman says she will obey you, of her own will, it is time to sleep lightly and watch your back.”

“When women take their education and their abilities seriously and put them to use, ultimately they have to compete with men. It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.”

“Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet… Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street.”

“She wore her sexuality with an older woman's ease, and not like an awkward purse, never knowing how to hold it, where to hang it, or when to just put it down.”

“I raised my foot and deliberately stomped on the bridge. "This is my foot. I put it down. Deal with it.”

“When a woman reproaches a man, but at the same time acts affectionately towards him, she should be made love to in every way. A woman, who meets a man in lonely places, and puts up with the touch of his foot, but pretends, on account of indecision of her mind, not to be aware of it, should be conquered by patience and by continued efforts.”

“A man must know when to retreat from a woman, but a wise man knows that sometimes he must stand and face her.”

“Wise men put their trust in ideas and not in circumstances.”
