{{Quote|"Women understands children better than a man, but man is more childlike than woman. A child is concealed in the true man: it wants to play. Come, woman, discover the child in man!"|(Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, pp. 91-92, Part 1, "Of Old and Young Women").}} | {{Quote|"Women understands children better than a man, but man is more childlike than woman.

{{Quote|"Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine like a precious stone illuminated by the virtues of a world that does not yet exist. Let the flash of a star glitter in your love! Let the hope of a woman be: 'May I bear the Superman'. [...] Let there be honour in your love. Woman has understood little otherwise about honour. But let this be your honour: always to love more than you are loved and never be second in this. Let men fear woman when she loves. Then she bears every sacrifice and every other thing she accounts valueless. Let man fear woman when she hates, for man is at the bottom of his soul only wicked, but woman is base."| (Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, p. 92, Part 1, "Of Old and Young Women".}} | {{Quote|"Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine like a precious stone illuminated by the virtues of a world that does not yet exist.

{{Quote|"And woman has to obey and find a depth for her surface. Woman's nature is surface, a changeable, stormy film upon waters. But a man's nature is deep, its torrent roars in subterranean caves: woman senses its power but does not comprehend it."|(Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, p. 92, Part 1, "Of Old and Young Women").}} | {{Quote|"And woman has to obey and find a depth for her surface.

{{Quote|"Then the little old woman answered me: Zarathustra has said many nice things, especially for those you are still young enough for them. It is strange, Zarathustra knows little about women and yet he is right about them. Is this because with women nothing is impossible?' [...] 'Give me your little truth, woman!' I said. And thus spoke the little old woman: "Are you visiting women, do not forget your whip!'. Thus spoke Zarathustra."|92-93 (Nietzsche, 1961/1883-91, pp. 92-93, Part 1, "Of Old and Young Women").}} | {{Quote|"Then the little old woman answered me: Zarathustra has said many nice things, especially for those you are still young enough for them.
