"Woman understands children better than man does, but man is more childlike than woman."

Previous Quote

The naive is what is or appears to be natural, individual, or classical to the point of irony or to the point of continuous alternation of self-creation and self-destruction. If it is only instinct, then it is childlike, childish, or silly; if it is only intention, it becomes affectation.

— Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
