You say I am discontented, proud and ambitious; that’s true, and I’m glad of it. I am discontented, because I can’t help feeling that there is a better sort of life than this dull one made up of everlasting work, with no object but money. I can’t starve my soul for the sake of my body, and I mean to get out of the treadmill if I can. I’m proud, as you call it, because I hate dependence where there isn’t any love to make it bearable…. I’m willing to work, but I want work that I can put my heart into, and feel that it does me good, no matter how hard it is. I only ask for a chance to be a useful, happy woman, and I don’t think that is a bad ambition. Even if I only do what my dear mother did, earn my living honestly and happily, and leave a beautiful example behind me, to help one other woman as hers helps me, I shall be satisfied. ~ Louisa May Alcott – “Christie,” Work: A Story of Experience, 1873

In the first place, I hate women because they always know where things are. At first blush, you might think that a perverse and merely churlish reason for hating women, but it is not. Naturally, every man enjoys having a woman around the house who knows where his shirt-studs and his brief-case are, and things like that, but he detests having a woman around who knows where everything is, even things that are of no importance at all, such as, say, the snapshots her husband took three years ago at Elbow Beach. The husband has never known where these snapshots were since the day they were developed and printed; he hopes, in a vague way, if he thinks about them at all, that after three years they have been thrown out. But his wife knows where they are, and so do his mother, his grandmother, his great-grandmother, his daughter, and the maid. They could put their fingers on them in a moment, with that quiet air of superior knowledge which makes a man feel that he is out of touch with all the things that count in life. ~ James Thurber – “The Case Against Women”

I live! Red life boils in my veins, earth yields beneath my feet, in the glow of love I embrace trees and statues, and they live in my embrace. Every woman is to me the gift of a world.

I also inherited something else, a trait that’s increasingly rare nowadays and one that I’ve grown proud of.

In every instance, there’s a soul beneath that supple, scented skin, and you should never stroke one without first touching the other. ~ Joe Kita – “Sex, Women, and Love,” Wisdom of Our Fathers, 1999

Curve: The loveliest distance between two points. ~ Mae West
Chastity in feeling and imagination, in word and action, is the principal virtue that either of choice or unconsciously reigns in the bosom of woman. It is tender and delicate, like an exotic plant, and cannot endure exposure….

She desires whatever increases domestic comfort, as furniture and dress, order and cleanliness, full chests and drawers. ~ Frederick A. Rauch – Psychology; or, A View of the Human Soul: Including Anthropology, Being the Substance of a Course of Lectures, Delivered to the Junior Class Marshall College, Penn., 1840
