It is easier to call the storm from the empty sky than to manipulate the heart of a man; and soon, if my bones did not lie to me, I should be needing all the power I could muster, to pit against a woman; and this is harder to do than anything concerning men, as air is harder to see than a mountain. Mary Stewart
About This Quote

I wanted to know how it feels to be a woman and if I would be able to do it without any preparation or practice. The storm has always been a part of my life and I have not been affected by the beauty of the storm as much as I thought. But, I am learning now and I am not sure if I will be able to do this. The heart of a man is something that is hard to manipulate, but the hardest thing to do is to manipulate the heart of a woman.

It is harder because women are emotional and they tend to feel more easily. They need more love from you than men do, and that makes it difficult for them to listen to their hearts.
