A man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male.

All the idols made by man, however terrifying they may be, are in point of fact subordinate to him, and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them

Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority

Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male

No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility

Why one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen.
