„All women dote upon an idle manAlthough their children need a rich estate.No man has ever lived that had enoughOf children’s gratitude or woman’s love.“

„Children understand very well that in each woman, in each man, in each child, there is capacity of waking up, of understanding, and of loving.“
— Thich Nhat Hanh
„No matter how prosperous a man was, if he was unable to rule his women and his children (and especially his women) he was not really a man.“
— Chinua Achebe
„It is a woman's outstanding characteristic that she can do anything for the love of a man. But those women who can achieve something important for the love of a thing are most exceptional, because this does not really agree with their nature. Love for a thing is a man's prerogative. But since masculine and feminine elements are united in our human nature, a man can live in the feminine part of himself, I and a woman in her masculine part. None the less the feminine element in man is only something in the background, as is the masculine element in woman. If one lives out the opposite sex in oneself one is living in one's own background, and one's real individuality suffers. A man should live as a man and a woman as a woman.“
— C.G. Jung
