Women

A woman cannot do the thing she ought, which means whatever perfect thing she can, in life, in art, in science, but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it, -- prate of woman's rights, of woman's mission, woman's function, till the men (who are prating, too, on their side) cry,A woman's function plainly is... to talk. Poor souls, they are very reasonably vexed!
- Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
Proverb, Italian

2.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

3.
When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.
Maciver, Robert M.

4.
She even had a kind of special position among men: she was an exception, she fitted none of the categories they commonly used when talking about girls; she wasn't a cock-teaser, a cold fish, an easy lay or a sneaky bitch; she was an honorary person. She had grown to share their contempt for most women.
Atwood, Margaret

5.
Woman -- for example, look at her case! She turns tantalizing inviting glances on you. You seize her. No sooner does she feel herself in your grasp than she closes her eyes. It is a sign of her mission, the sign by which she says to man: Blind yourself, for I am blind.
Pirandello, Luigi

6.
There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn't bother to change while there are women like that around.
Oakley, Ann

7.
No woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness. When we allow ourselves to believe we are, we lose touch with parts of ourselves defined as unacceptable by that consciousness; with the vital toughness and visionary strength of the angry grandmothers, the fierce market women of the Ibo's Women's War, the marriage-resisting women silk workers of pre-Revolutionary China, the millions of widows, midwives, and the women healers tortured and burned as witches for three centuries in Europe.
Rich, Adrienne

8.
A typical minority group stereotype -- woman as nigger -- if she knows her place (home), she is really a quite lovable, loving creature, happy and childlike.
Weisstein, Naomi

9.
I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery.
Dinesen, Isak

10.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar

11.
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.
Hoagland, Edward

12.
Whether women are better than men I cannot say, but I can say they are certainly no worse.
Meir, Golda

13.
I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station. And if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their women.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

14.
Women receive he insults of men with tolerance, having been bitten in the nipple by their toothless gums.
Laing, Dilys

15.
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

16.
A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
Lynes, Russell

17.
Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.
Antrim, Minna

18.
Most women defend themselves. It is the female of the species -- it is the tigress and lioness in you -- which tends to defend when attacked.
Thatcher, Margaret

19.
The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is What does a woman want?
Freud, Sigmund

20.
A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

21.
If man knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.
Porter, O. Henry

22.
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

23.
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

24.
Men know that women are an over-match for them, and therefore they choose the weakest or most ignorant. If they did not think so, they never could be afraid of women knowing as much as themselves.
Johnson, Samuel

25.
When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
Franklin, Benjamin

26.
Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.
Billings, Josh

27.
There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifery.
Mandeville, Bernard

28.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
Luce, Clare Boothe

29.
I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.
Eliot, George

30.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

31.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

32.
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
Dietrich, Marlene

33.
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Antrim, Minna

34.
The source of all life and knowledge is in man and woman, and the source of all living is in the interchange and the meeting and mingling of these two: man-life and woman-life, man-knowledge and woman-knowledge, man-being and woman-being.
Lawrence, D. H.

35.
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Millet, Kate

36.
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

37.
Men never remember, but women never forget.

38.
For my part I distrust all generalizations about women, favorable and unfavorable, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern; all alike, I should say, result from paucity of experience.
Russell, Bertrand

39.
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

40.
You've got many refinements. I don't think you need to worry about your failure at long division. I mean, after all, you got through short division, and short division is all that a lady ought to be called on to cope with.
Williams, Tennessee

41.
Don't you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you'll never be a dominant force in the world? You'll never be a convincing technocrat or middle manager. Because people will know. She's in there sitting down.
Delillo, Don

42.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Woolf, Virginia

43.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De

44.
Women make love for love, men make love for lust.
Harge, Derrick

45.
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.
Berger, John

46.
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
Victoria, Queen

47.
To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
Austen, Jane

48.
A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train.
Mcginley, Phyllis

49.
It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.
Brookner, Anita

50.
We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed -- because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.
Eliot, George
