"The woman is coming! It always starts like this! Caution! Attention! The man calculates everything carefully, with foresight, precisely and definitively. And here comes the woman! With lies of a hundred and twenty kilometers per second, panting, fighting, staring, swooning or smiling; it suddenly comes and knocks everything down! Then he sits down on this pile and powders himself. And he offers his sincere condolences. Beware of the woman! Even the simplest everyday concepts become confusing if we want to clarify them in relation to women.

The woman is coming! It always starts like this! Caution! Attention! The man calculates everything carefully, with foresight, precisely and definitively. And here comes the woman! With lies of a hundred and twenty kilometers per second, panting, fighting, staring, swooning or smiling; it suddenly comes and knocks everything down! Then he sits down on this pile and powders himself. And he offers his sincere condolences. Beware of the woman! Even the simplest everyday concepts become confusing if we want to clarify them in relation to women.
""Jön a nő! Mindig így kezdődik! Vigyázat! Figyelem! A férfi mindent kiszámít alaposan, előrelátóan, precízen, véglegesen. És erre jön a nő! Másodpercenként százhúsz kilométeres hazugságokkal, lihegve, hadarva, szemlesütve, ájuldozva vagy mosolyogva; egyszer csak jön, és mindent halomra dönt! Aztán leül e halomra, és kipúderezi magát. És őszinte részvétét fejezi ki. Óvakodjunk a nőtől! A legegyszerűbb mindennapi fogalmak is zavarosak lesznek, ha nővel kapcsolatban akarjuk tisztázni őket."
