I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.

The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.

My heroines are always virgins. They never go to bed without a ring on their fingers; not until page 118 at least.

I consider myself an expert on love, sex and health. Without health you can have very little of the other two.

After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.

A woman asking 'Am I good? Am I satisfied?' is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

I would love to employ a man, but how can I possibly give a man dictation from the bath?
