Marcello Mastroianni

There are men who are arrogantly insecure and then there are the self-effacing meglomaniacs. There are only these two types of men.

Women are much different. A woman is able to hear a Zen monk speak about Zen, tell story after story with Zen beginnings and Zen endings, and listen to every word the Zen monk says as if every word is Zen. When you ask if she's a Buddhist, she says she knows nothing about Zen but that everything the Zen monk said about people was just human nature.
