Quote by Oscar Wilde

When a man has once loved a woman, he will do anything for her, except continue to love her.

When a man has once loved a woman, he will do anything for h

Summary

This quote suggests that while a man may be willing to go to great lengths and make sacrifices for a woman he has loved in the past, he is unlikely to maintain that same level of love and emotional investment over time. It implies that love can be transient, and once the initial passion fades, commitment and devotion may also diminish. Ultimately, the quote implies that love can be fickle and should not be taken for granted.

Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel

Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.
