ASSORTED QUOTES ON WOMAN

he puts in, say ten years, industrious and curious, he can acquire the
general rudiments of the sex.
- For a man to pretend to understand women is bad manners; for him
really to understand them is bad morals.
- Men dislike women who don't understand them, and women dislike men
who do.
- Even when a man understands a woman, he can't believe it.
- Woman wishes to wish away the differences between the sexes. - but

those who want power in bed. - Jacqueline Onassis
