“… when was a woman ever witty without being bitter?”

“A witty woman is a devil at intrigue.”

“No woman ever hates a man
for being in love with her;
but mainly a woman hates a
man for being her friend.”

“No child should ever be separated from their parent. No child should ever taken from their family. No woman should ever be locked up in a pen when they have done no harm to another human being.”

“Bitter, being first to tell you bitter news.”

“Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality”

“At all events, the next best thing to being witty one's self, is to be able to quote another's wit.”

“Wit without humanity degenerates into bitterness. Learning without prudence into pedantry.”

“The witty woman is a tragic figure in American life. Wit destroys eroticism and eroticism destroys wit, so women must choose between taking lovers and taking no prisoners.”

“Without a doubt… the worst part of being a single woman was having to take care of your own car.”
