Famous quotes containing the words knock and/or joke:
“However much you knock at nature’s door, she will never answer you in comprehensible words.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“A man assumes that a woman’s refusal is just part of a game. Or, at any rate, a lot of men assume that. When a man says no, it’s no. When a woman says no, it’s yes, or at least maybe. There is even a joke to that effect. And little by little, women begin to believe in this view of themselves.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
