Summary

This quote suggests that a man must choose between two distinct paths when it comes to interacting with women. "Loving women" implies emotional connection, affection, and care, while "understanding them" suggests knowledge, insight, and comprehension. It implies that one cannot easily possess both traits simultaneously, insinuating that men must decide whether to approach their relationships with women through an emotional lens or a logical and intellectual one. It highlights the potential challenge and dichotomy of balancing deep feelings with objective understanding when it comes to relating to women.

I don't hide my feelings, but when it comes to illness, I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic, who is anybody going to run to?

Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
