“Do Englishmen like intellectual women?’ she asked.

‘Not if they have any sense, but they have such a high measure of tolerance that it’s likely they endure such women out of sheer gallantry. It would be like kissing a Roget’s Thesaurus!”

“The cleverest women hide it and create an aura of wit and charm instead. Those who can’t wait a moment to prove how much smarter than men they are--Dios, what bores!

It is probably the Spaniard in me that dislikes the type!”

“By God, it would be a pleasure to master her, to ride her to the Devil who had blessed, nay, cursed her with that tongue. Aye, and beyond him to the lowest pit of Hell where only the demons lurked, forgotten even by their unsavoury Lord!”

“Italian men understand and appreciate women of volatile temperament."

"I hate you," she said again, unable to think of anything more vicious to say in the state she was in.”
