Quote by Israel Zangwill
A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.
Summary
This quote reflects a stereotypical and sexist view of gender dynamics in a relationship, suggesting that a man wants his wife to possess intelligence solely for the purpose of appreciating and admiring his own intelligence. It implies that a woman's intelligence should be subordinated to, and subservient to, her husband's ego. This quote perpetuates the idea of male superiority and the notion that a woman's worth lies in her ability to validate and uphold her partner's ego rather than her own independent thoughts and intelligence.
