X. 5
Once, a certain man said, "I know the shape of 'reason' and 'women'. When somebody asked what shape these things were, he replied: "Reason is a square, and it will not budge at all. Women are round. Women do not discriminate between good or evil, wrong or right, and will roll into any position."
Hagakure
V:367
There are few virtuous women who are not weary of their occupation.
V:368
Most virtuous women are hidden treasures: they are safe only because they are not sought after.
La Rochefoucauld - Maxims
V:277
Women often think they are in love though they are not. The business of an intrigue, the excitement produced by a love affair, a natural predilection for the pleasure of being loved, and the difficulty of refusing, convince them that they are being passionate when they are merely being flirtatious.
La Rochefoucauld - Maxims
V:73
It is possible to find women who have never had a love affair; but is rare to find women who have only ever had one.
La Rochefoucauld - Maxims
IAGO:
Come on! Come on! You are pictures out of door,
Bells in your parlors, wildcats in your kitchens,
Saints in your injuries, devils being offended,
Players in your housewifery, and housewives in your beds.
William Shakespeare - Othello (2,1)
