Everyone said she was a clever woman.
They used the word ensnare.Margaret Atwood
Many clever men like you have trusted to civilization. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Dissimulation is innate in woman, and almost as much a quality of the stupid as of the clever.
Arthur Schopenhauer
No woman marries for money: they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him.
Cesare Pavese
The really clever thing, in affairs of this sort, is not to win a woman already desired by everyone, but to discover such a prize while she is still unknown.
Cesare Pavese
