Man Vs Woman Quotes

“When she was his companion, her father had always felt himself stirred to interest and enterprise. "You ought to have been a man, Betty," he used to say to her sometimes. But Betty had not agreed with him. "You say that," she once replied to him, "because you see I am inclined to do things, to change them if they need changing. Well, one is either born like that or one is not. Sometimes I think that perhaps the people who must act are of a distinct race, a kind of vigorous restlessness drives them. I remember that when I was a child I could not see a pin lying upon the ground without picking it up or pass a drawer which needed closing without giving it a push. But there has always been as much for women to do as there is for men.”

“Un uomo, se non altro, è libero; può percorrere passioni e paesi, attraversare gli ostacoli, afferrare le gioie più remote. Ma per una donna ci sono ostacoli di ogni tipo. Inerte e flessibile insieme, ha contro di sé le debolezze della carne e le costrizioni della legge. La sua volontà, come il velo del suo cappello trattenuto da un cordoncino, palpita a tutti i venti; c’è sempre qualche desiderio che la trascina e qualche convenienza che tuttavia la trattiene.”
