Candace Bushnell Quote

It was ironic, but when you scratched the surface, most successful men were working for one thing only—to retire—and the sooner the better. Whereas women were the complete opposite. She had never heard a woman say she was working so she could retire to a desert island or to live on a boat. It was probably, she thought, because most women didn't think they deserved to do nothing.
