Men were stupid to forget what good sleuths women could be.

If a woman tells a man the god favor him, everybody says she's far-minded.' The broom halted mid-sweep and the slave turned to Hild. 'But let a woman do what the gods tell her, without asking a man's permission first? Then she's possessed.' Unwen punctuated her words with her broom, jabbing it into the corner.

I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.

Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.

Women were created from the rib of man to be beside him, not from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled by him, but from under his arm to be protected by him, near to his heart to be loved by him.

A man does what he can; a woman does what a man cannot.
