“If a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal it, he must find it out."-Elizabeth”

“Elizabeth who was only partially visible to her stared out the window very much awake as though she were contemplating the end of man.”

“In every endeavour, it is man or woman with unbreakable will who excels”

“Man makes his own history, but he does not make it out of the whole cloth; he does not make it out of conditions chosen by himself, but out of such as he finds close at hand.”

“A man does what he can; a woman does what a man cannot.”

“The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. ‘Behold, just now the world became perfect!’—thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man’s disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it.”
