“With men, as with women, the main struggle is between vanity and comfort; but with men, comfort often wins.”

“Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men”

“It is the vanity of women to spend hours in front of the mirror. It is the vanity of men not to bother.”

“I sometimes think that there is a link between the decline in humanity and the increase in prosperity and comfort. Property and comfort are what people seek, but the costs to character are often terrifying.”

“Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.”

“It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does.
And men take care that they should.”

“Comfort” is no test of truth; on the contrary, truth is often far from being “comfortable.”

“Look, I am Vice President of the United States of America. The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don't see much of a distinction beyond that.”

“All is vanity and everybody's vain. Women are terribly vain. So are men — more so, if possible.”

“Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with; and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.”
