If a woman is stronger than her husband, she comes to despise him. She has the choice of either tyrannizing him or else making herself less in order not to make him less. If the husband is strong enough, though, she can be as strong as she is, as strong as she can grow to be."
"Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three."
