Quoted By:
1813–1855: Søren Kierkegaard
>"For my part, if I were a woman, I had rather be a woman in the orient where I would be a slave, for to be a slave, neither more nor less, is at any rate something definite, in comparison with being . . . nothing whatever."
>"Man can never be so cruel as a woman. Consult mythologies, fables, folktakes, and you will find this view confirmed. If a natural principle is to be described, whose mercilessness knows no limits, it will always be a feminine nature."
>"When God created Eve, He let a deep sleep fall over Adam; for woman is the dream of man."
>"Woman is personified egotism. Her fervent, burning devotion to man is neither more nor less than her egotism."
