“Ladies,
let me give you some advice. You can throw all your stupid fucking chick-lit,
self-help, why-doesn't-he-love-me books out, because this is all you need to
know: Men will treat you the way you let them. There is no such thing as
"deserving" respect; you get what you demand from people.. if you
demand respect, he will either respect you or he won't associate with you. It
really is that simple.”

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
“I
cannot have a man who is afraid of everything, I don't have the time to soothe
insecurities and fears, I cannot have a man who is standing on a stone by a
creek, watching for the fish to swim by and every time he sees a fish he says
"Oh look, this fish scares me, I wonder what this fish means, this fish
might mean- this, or this fish might mean- that" for God's sake, they are
just fish, and they don't mean anything! Such a sad thing, so many fine, strong
men standing on top of little stones, pointing at fish all the time! Such a
waste! Such a waste of time! I can only have a man who will leap into the
water, not minding the damn fish and whatever other little things that scare
him. I need to have someone who is braver than me; if I am a pirate, he has to
be the pirate Captain, if I am a pirate Captain he has to be the flying
dragon.”

Isabel Allende, Inés of My Soul
“The
best men tell you the truth because they think you can take it; the worst men
either try to preserve you in some innocent state with their false protection,
or are ‘brutally honest.’ When someone tells, lets you think for yourself,
experience your own emotions, he is treating you as a true equal, a friend…And
the best men cook for you.”
―
Whitney Otto, How to Make an American Quilt
“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.”
―
Matthew Henry, An exposition of the Old and New Testament Volume 6
“She's
a woman, you're a dude. You're not supposed to understand her. That's not what
she's after.... She doesn't want you to understand her. She knows that's
impossible. She just wants you to understand yourself. Everything else is
negotiable.”
―
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

it? That's your big goodbye?" Eve asked.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical
Aphorisms
“How
could you love us being together?" he asked me "We are nothing alike
and we are not meant for each other and we drive each other crazy, you love
that? How can you love that?" So I told him "I know that we're not
meant for each other, that we drive each other crazy, and that we are so
different. But that's us. That's what we have; a wild nonsense. We are not good
together, but together we are bad for each other. I love us together this way
just like this. Because even if it's no good, it's what we have! It's us.”
