>"Man as peasant or noble turns towards, man as priest turns away from, woman [...] But for the true priest media vita in morte sumus (in the midst of life we be in death); what he shall bequeath is intellectual, and rejected woman bears no part in it."
—Ibid
>"The woman is world-history. By conceiving and giving birth she cares for the perpetuation of the blood. The mother with the child at her breast is the grand emblem of cosmic life."
—Ibid
>"Quite animal still is the trickery of woman towards man, and equally so the peasant's shrewdness in obtaining small advantages - both differing in no wise from the slyness of the fox, both consisting in the ability to see into the secret of the victim at one glance."
—Ibid
>"Women, as more instinctive and nearer to cosmic rhythms, adapt themselves more readily than men to the forms of a new milieu. Women from the bottom strata move in elegant society with entire certainty after a few years—and sink again as quickly."
—Ibid
>"Woman is Sin so the great ascetics felt, as their fellows of the Classical, of China, and of India had felt. The Devil rules only through woman."
—Ibid
