There is a vein of inconsistency in every woman's heart, within whose portals love hath entered. - Dorothee DeLuzy Love has a way of cheating itself consciously, like a child who plays at solitary hide-and-seek; it is pleased with assurances that it all the while disbelieves. - George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans Cross) Caprice in woman is the antidote to beauty. - Jean de la Bruyere Sing of the nature of women, and then the song shall be surely full of variety,--old crotchets and most sweet closes. It shall be humorous, grave, fantastical, amorous, melancholy, sprightly,--one in all, all in one. - John Marston Woman is a miracle of divine contradictions. - Jules Michelet There is a proverb in the South that a woman laughs when she can, and weeps when she pleases. - Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn A woman's fitness comes by fits. - William Shakespeare How wayward is this foolish love, that, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse and presently, all humble, kiss the rod. - William Shakespeare "One might almost fear," writes a thoughtful woman, "seeing how the women of to-day are lightly stirred up to run after some new fashion or faith, that heaven is not so near to them as it was to their mothers and grandmothers." - Samuel Smiles There are women so hard to please that it would seem as if nothing less than an angel would suit them; and hence it comes that they often encounter devils. - Marguerite de Valois
