“What other creatures are bred so exquisitely and purposefully for mistreatment as women are?”

“Surely, of all creatures that have life and will, we women are the most wretched. When, for an extravagant sum, we have bought a husband, we must then accept him as possessor of our body.”

“And so my thoughts have lead me to believe that childless men and women lead lives more fortunate than those with sons and daughters.”

“So, friends, what method should we use? Hard to choose. I could torch them in their love nest or butcher them in their fragrant bed.”

“In case of dissension, never dare to judge till you've heard the other side.”

“Pay special attention to their agony so I might take some pleasure.”

“Do not grieve so much for a husband lost that it wastes away your life.”
