As vivacity is the gift of women, gravity is that of men.

Summary

This quote suggests that vivacity (liveliness, enthusiasm) is a natural trait of women, while gravity (seriousness, solemnity) is inherent to men. It implies that women are generally more expressive and animated, while men are seen as more collected and serious in nature. This quote reflects traditional gender norms and stereotypes, asserting that each gender possesses distinct characteristics that are typically expected and associated with them. However, it is important to recognize that these traits are not exclusive to either gender and can vary greatly among individuals.
