“Apparently, all men were the same. It was like God had given them different faces just so that women would be able to tell them apart.”

“When love has been in your life you see that the only true, real pleasure of life is love. Every other thrill arises from that basic source of pleasure.

In a word or two, life only goes Technicolor in the very moment love's fingers caress it.”

“Possibile che gli uomini sentano minacciata la propria autorità quando cominciano a rendersi conto che la donna sta sviluppando delle capacità reali in un determinato campo?

“You just couldn't get hold of the things you had done and turn them right again. Such power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to men and women, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens.”

“Men had no purpose on earth whereas women were gods walking unrecognized among them.”
