women

1.

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.

- Rowland, Helen

2.

If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.

- Sand, George

3.

The first wrote, wine is the strongest. The second wrote, the king is strongest. The third wrote, women are strongest: but above all things truth beareth away the victory. [Esdras 3:10]

- Bible

4.

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.

- Barrymore, John

5.

Grace is always natural, though that does not prevent its being often used to hide a lie. The rude shocks and uncomfortably constraining influences of life disappear among graceful women and poetical men; they are the most deceptive beings in creation; distrust and doubt cannot stand before them; they create what they imagine; if they do not lie to others, they do to their own hearts; for illusion is their element, fiction their vocation, and pleasures in appearance their happiness. Beware of grace in woman, and poetry in man -- weapons the more dangerous because the least dreaded!

- Custine, Marquis De

6.

I find women with well developed flesh very attractive. The scrawny little things doing commercials on my television set are slightly repulsive -- like famine victims.

- Dana Hatch

7.

Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women.

- Elsa Schiaparelli

8.

I think the worst woman that ever existed would have made a man of very passable reputation -- they are all better than us and their faults such as they are must originate with ourselves.

- Byron, Lord

9.

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

- Rich, Adrienne

10.

When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Man invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.

- Elayne Boolser

11.

The noblest of men deserves not the weakest of women.

- Carey Bowman

12.

Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!

- Kundera, Milan

13.

Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God's will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.

- Victoria, Queen

14.

God hath prepared a little coronet or special reward (extraordinary and beside the great crown of all faithful souls) for those who have not defiled themselves with women.

- Taylor, Jeremy

15.

Impenetrable in their dissimulation, cruel in their vengeance, tenacious in their purposes, unscrupulous as to their methods, animated by profound and hidden hatred for the tyranny of man -- it is as though there exists among them an ever-present conspiracy toward domination, a sort of alliance like that subsisting among the priests of every country.

- Diderot, Denis

16.

If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.

- Martineau, Harriet

17.

The legacy of women's war work is our present post-industrial employment structure. It was the war that created the demand for a technologically advanced, de-skilled, low-paid, non-unionized female workforce and paved the way for making part-time work the norm for married women now.A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.

- Grant, Linda

18.

Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.

- Bunch, Charlotte

19.

Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.

- Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.

Women who buy perfume and flowers for themselves because their men won't do it are called ``self basting.'

- Adair Lara
