“You have heretofore found out, by my teachings, that man is a fool; you are now aware that woman is a damned fool.”
“The fool's crime is the crime that is found out and the wise man's crime is the crime that is not found out.”
“Woman, you are a thousand kinds of fool.”
“A man and a woman cannot live together without having against each other a kind of everlasting joke. Each has discovered that the other is not only a fool, but a great fool.”
“It only takes one man to make a woman a fool.”
“I often had no scruples about deceiving nitwits and scoundrels and fools when I found it necessary. ...We avenge intelligence when we deceive a fool, and... deceiving a fool is an exploit worthy of an intelligent man. What has infused my very blood with an unconquerable hatred of the whole tribe of fools from the day of my birth is that I become a fool myself when I am in their company.”
