Women - An A to Z Challenge Post

4/26/2013

We are nearing the end of the alphabet on the A to Z Challenge. Today's quote is about WOMEN and from Robert Jordan. I knew of this author for his fantasy novels, but I've since discovered that he wrote in other genres. Here is his writer bio from Wikipedia:

Robert Jordan was the pen name of American writer James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007) He used this pseudonymfor fantasy novels, including the bestselling The Wheel of Time series for which he was best known. He also wrote historical fiction as Reagan O'Neal, a western as Jackson O'Reilly, and dance criticism as Chang Lung, and he had ghostwritten an "international thriller" that is still believed to have been written by someone else.

“Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget.”
― Robert Jordan

I've heard that quote before and it's true.

Have to say women are OK, I suppose :)

(big sigh:)

Nah, women rock and *you* are a RockStar friend, Brinda :)

That's a lot of wisdom right there. So true.

If my husband never forgave, I'd be in a lot of trouble all the time. He is great about forgetting, which I must admit is a hard thing for me to do.

I loved Jordan's Wheel of Time books. And that's an interesting quote. :)

That's an interesting quote . . .I mostly agree with him.
I had no idea he wrote in genres other than fantasy. That's really cool!

Meh. I don't think Jordan is right. But what do I know? And just to show you that any author can make up quotes regarding men and women, here's mine:

"For a couple desiring a relationship, men require sex in order to feel love, and women require love in order to have sex."

That's very true.

There's a ring of truth to that, but not in ALL cases. And yes, Michael certainly has a point too, but again there are always exceptions.

Interesting that he wrote in so many genres with different names.

Brinda ... I went in search of you today when I realized it had been a week since I got a post in the mail. Oh well. I caught up on your letters and got stuck on this one. That quote is so damn true. Men might not remember what you said two hours ago, but if you hurt them ten years ago ... you had better believe they haven't forgiven you.
