“The stronger is the enemy, the more
Easily is the vanquished side excused.”
Ludovico Ariosto book Orlando Furioso
Sempre che l'inimico è più possente,
Più chi perde accettabile ha la scusa.

“The conscious side of woman corresponds to the emotional side of man, not to his "mind."”
C.G. Jung book Alchemical Studies
Mind makes up the soul, or better, the "animus" of woman, and just as the anima of a man consists of inferior relatedness, full of affect, so the animus of woman consists of inferior judgments, or better, opinions.

Ode to Memory (1830)
Context: Whither in after life retired
From brawling storms,
From weary wind,
With youthful fancy reinspired,
We may hold converse with all forms
Of the many-sided mind,
And those whom passion hath not blinded,
Subtle-thoughted, myriad-minded.
Frans de Waal (1948) Dutch primatologist and ethologist
The Bonobo in All of Us (2007)
Context: It is true that the chimpanzee is dominance-oriented, violent, territorial. But it's also cooperative in many ways, and so that side is sometimes forgotten. The bonobo is sensual, sensitive, sexual, a peacemaker, but also can have a nasty side, and that's sometimes forgotten. So both species are sort of the ends of the spectrum, and we fall somewhere in between. Clearly, we have both of these sides in us, and that's why I sometimes call us "the bipolar apes."
