David Gemmell Quote
My dear Hogun, when a woman is beautiful, she comes to expect a certain—how shall I say?—a certain reverence from men. You should have had the good grace to be thunderstruck by her beauty. Stunned into silence or, better still, into a babbling fool. Then she would have merely ignored you and answered your devotion with arrogant disdain. Now you have slighted her, and she will hate you. Worse than this, she will do all in her power to win your heart. I don’t think that makes a great deal of sense. Why should she try to win my heart if she hates me? So that she can be in a position to treat you with disdain. Do you know nothing about women?
