A woman can change better than a man. A man lives sorta, well, in jerks. Baby born and somebody dies and that's a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it, and that's a jerk.
With a woman it's all in one flow, like a stream. With eddies and waterfalls.
But like the river it goes right on.
A woman looks at it that way.
--- Ma Joad, in Grapes of Wrath, the movie directed by John Ford.
