“The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness.”
Victor Hugo
“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”
Oscar Wilde
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”
“When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.”
“Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.”
Mark Twain
“To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.”
Helen Rowland
“There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.”
