“...whenever a woman describes a man as sweet, the dalliance is doomed.”

“Easy' is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man.”

“The realistic style is easy to abuse: from haste, from lack of awareness, from inability to bridge the chasm that lies between what a writer would like to be able to say and what he actually knows how to say. It is easy to fake; brutality is not strength, flipness is not wit, edge-of-the-chair writing can be as boring as flat writing; dalliance with promiscuous blondes can be very dull stuff when described by goaty young men with no other purpose in mind than to describe dalliance with promiscuous blondes.”

“No man can describe to another convincingly wherein lies the magic of the woman who ensnares him.”

“When a man writes a romance, the woman dies. When a woman writes one, it ends all tidy and sweet.”

“Most people find a woman being sweetly loved by her man very lovable.”
