I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
FRANK SINATRA
attributed, The Way You Wear Your Hat
It's the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It's a story got up, because the women are there, and something must be found for 'em to do. I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha' been left to the men.... I tell you, a woman 'ull bake you a pie every week of her life, and never come to see that the hotter th' oven the shorter the time.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.

I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.

Women could be trying at times, but they often brought warmth and pleasure to a man's fire.

Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?
TAMARA ANGELA GRANT
"Women Are Necessary...", Huffington Post, March 9, 2017
The plainest man who pays attention to women, will sometimes succeed as well as the handsomest man who does not.
