Alexander PopeMen, some to business take, some to pleasure take; but every woman is at heart a rake
About This Quote
Women are the most romantic creatures on earth. When they love someone, they can be very silly and romantic. They will do whatever it takes for their beloved to be happy. They have different priorities than men, though. Women are willing to give up on their work or pleasure to make sure their lover is happy.
