"The great trick with a woman is..." - Quote by Soren Kierkegaard

“Men think that it is impossible for a human being to love his enemies, for enemies are hardly able to endure the sight of one another. Well, then, shut your eyes--and your enemy looks just like your neighbor.”

“For love is exultant when it unites equals, but it is triumphant when it makes that which was unequal equal in love.”

“Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.”

“Marriage: that I call the will of two to create the one who is more than those who created it.”

“It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.”

“Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other.”

“Swollen in head, weak in legs, sharp in tongue but empty in belly.”

“The straight line, a respectable optical illusion which ruins many a man.”

“Boasting, like gilded armour, is very different inside from outside.”
