That is undoubtedly the reason she is called temperamental, incomprehensible, perturbed, capricious - not to mention her language in which "she" goes off in all directions and in which "he" is unable to discern the coherence of any meaning. ... Moreover, her statements are never identical to anything. ...
It is therefore useless to trap women into giving an exact definition of what they mean, to make them repeat (themselves) so the meaning will be clear. ... If you ask them insistently what they are thinking about, they can only reply: nothing. Everything.
Thus they desire at the same time nothing and everything.'
