A man should be careful not to raise the anger of a woman, for he has to sleep sometimes – with his eyes closed.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.
Photographer unknown, 1930s
A woman’s love can lift you up,
and women can inspire
I feel like buying flowers and
hiring a celestial choir
A choir of castrati to serenade my love
They’d sing a little Bach for us
and then we’d make love
I love women…
