for me it's Nietzsche
>Two different things wanteth the true man: danger and diversion. Therefore wanteth he woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
>Man shall be trained for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior: all else is folly.
>Too sweet fruits—these the warrior liketh not. Therefore liketh he woman;—bitter is even the sweetest woman.
>Better than man doth woman understand children, but man is more childish than woman.
>In the true man there is a child hidden: it wanteth to play. Up then, ye women, and discover the child in man!
>A plaything let woman be, pure and fine like the precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
