I think at this stage in my life I have learned that there are any number of things that men will never know, and can never hope to know, about women.

Robert B. Parker

Men are not dogs. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But, by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us to live up to it.

Neil Strauss

Betty Friedan

Men know that women are an overmatch for them, and therefore they choose the weakest or the most ignorant. If they did not think so, they never could be afraid of women knowing as much as themselves.

Samuel Johnson

William Faulkner
