Women's hearts

This is from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. Even if he wrote it in 1907, I think he's still right, isn't he? The ever-lasting characteristic of literature....

"I profess not to know how women’s hearts are wooed and won. To me they have always been matters of riddle and admiration. Some seem to have but one vulnerable point, or door of access; while others have a thousand avenues, and may be captured in a thousand different ways. It is a great triumph of skill to gain the former, but a still greater proof of generalship to maintain possession of the latter, for the man must battle for his fortress at every door and window. He who wins a thousand common hearts is therefore entitled to some renown; but he who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette, is indeed a hero."

What's your phrase/ley motive?


"Through the eyes of LOVE, things take on a new meaning".

"No podemos cambiar la dirección del viento, pero si podemos gobernar las velas"

"L'amore non si spiega a parole".

"Se as coisas não sairem como planejei posso ficar feliz por ter hoje para RECOMEÇAR!!"
