I have actually known a case where a Woman has exterminated her whole household, and half an hour afterwards, when her rage was over and the fragments swept away, has asked what has become of her husband and her children.

Edwin A. Abbott
About This Quote

When a woman goes crazy, she can wreak havoc on a whole household. She doesn’t care about anybody or anything but herself. It is only when she calms down that she realizes what she has done. She may even call out for her husband and children, who are long gone.
