Oscar Wilde hit the nail on the head well over a century ago.

Very true. Women "feel" and base a lot of their life on emotions.

The greatest sin a man can commit against a woman, in her (subconscious) view isn't rape, though that is pretty bad, but boring her. There is nothing women hate more than men who bore them.

Women love, and hate, but love even more, abusive men because they make these women "feel" many different things. They are unpredictable, which means that women will always feel something "new". This in turn means the women don't get bored in such relationships.

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) the founder of modern nursing: “Women Aren’t Capable of Love”:

"Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream out at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving any in return, for they cannot state a fact accurately to another, nor can that other woman attend to it accurately enough for it to become information. Now is not all this the result of want of sympathy?

I am sick with indignation at what wives and mothers will do of the most shocking selfishness. And people call it all maternal or conjugal affection, and think it pretty to say so. No, no, let each person tell the truth from their own experience.

They really don’t have sympathy or the ability to empathize, because they are always judging everyone and every thing as a product on a social value scale that relates to their own egos and bounces off of themselves. There is no capability for genuine feeling.

This is what I have experienced with women, there is no capability for genuine feeling for other humans, or really in general, except when those feelings are for themselves and the other people are just proxies to bounce ideas off of."

Awesome book. My fav quote... "You seem to forget that I am married, and the one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties."

Dorian Gray is a great metaphor for people, though.

Remember reading this in Middle School. All I remember is the ending and climax for some odd reason. What chapter is this quote in?

Ha ha ha. That was one hell of a book, too. And he wrote that book on a challenge, someone said something like, 'ah, you only write plays, they're easy to write, I bet you couldn't write a book,' something like that, and he sat down and wrote an entire book in a week.

I believe he also said, "bigamy is having one wife too many, just like monogamy".

BASED FELLOW.
