“The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character.”
Emma Goldman
“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
“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
Anais Nin
“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”
“A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life, to be thankful for a good one”
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
“When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.”
“Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends up blocking his retreat.”
