Translated from the Ladino. Read the original
In love, women are professionals and men amateurs. (François Truffaut)
To explain a woman, words are not sufficient; and to understand a woman, life is not sufficient.
A woman can forgive everything but never forgets. (Confucius)
Woman dominates man without a sword and binds him without a rope. (Tolstoy)
Woman is poetry, but her poet is anonymous. Woman is a flower whose scent you long to breathe. Woman is a breeze that blows timidly. Once it breaks, it destroys everything like a storm.
If a woman has grown cold towards you, the reason is not that she does not love you; the reason is that you do not take care to make her love you.
Woman in herself is neither rose nor thorn. If you know how to breathe her scent, she is a rose; if you do not know how to hold her, she is a thorn. (Refik Halid Karay)
Woman wants one single man who will fulfil all her wishes. Man wants all women who will fulfil his single need. (Dostoevsky)
The deaf husband with his blind wife are the happiest.
Quality lies in the gold that does not melt before the fire, in the woman who does not melt before gold, and in the man who does not melt before the woman.
Woman is the lover of the young man, the friend of the mature man and the nurse of the old man.
If a man slaps a woman, the fault is the man's. If a woman slaps a man, again the fault is the man's.
