After that, guys vanished from art, except for troubled self-portraits. Now our gender supplies all the major criminals and all the major candidates for high office; the female gender supplies the goddesses of light and mercy. What went wrong?"

"They (women) can't take over the world fast enough for me. I mean that. Let them run everything. They should take over business and government and manage society and finance and let guys be artists and hoboes."
Great quote.
