Best Quotes about Women
The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home -- will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children.
Duras, Marguerite
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Woolf, Virginia
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar
No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.
Weininger, Otto
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Fuller, Margaret
A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.
Chazal, Malcolm De
The great renewal of the world will perhaps consist in this, that man and maid, freed of all false feelings and reluctances, will seek each other not as opposites, but as brother and sister, as neighbors, and will come together as human beings.
Rilke, Rainer Maria
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.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De
Eve is a twofold mystery.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Whether women are better than men I cannot say, but I can say they are certainly no worse.
Meir, Golda
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
Durrell, Lawrence
Women are considered deep -- why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The nearer society approaches to divine order, the less separation will there be in the characters, duties, and pursuits of men and women. Women will not become less gentle and graceful, but men will become more so. Women will not neglect the care and education of their children, but men will find themselves ennobled and refined by sharing those duties with them; and will receive, in return, co-operation and sympathy in the discharge of various other duties, now deemed inappropriate to women. The more women become rational companions, partners in business and in thought, as well as in affection and amusement, the more highly will men appreciate home.
Child, Lydia M.
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
Give us that grand word woman once again, and let's have done with lady; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
A woman who looks like a girl and thinks like a man is the best sort, the most enjoyable to be and the most pleasurable to have and to hold.
Burchill, Julie
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
A woman is like a teabag -- only in hot water do you realize how strong she is.
Reagan, Nancy
A woman might claim to retain some of the child's faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.
Greer, Germaine
You may be a princess or the richest woman in the world, but you cannot be more than a lady.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome
Coming to terms with the rhythms of women's lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.
Mead, Margaret
To be born woman is to know -- although they do not speak of it at school -- women must labor to be beautiful.
Yeats, William Butler
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Antrim, Minna
Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
Janeway, Elizabeth
Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Woman's destiny is to be wanton, like the bitch, the she-wolf; she must belong to all who claim her.
Sade, Marquis De
The cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
Lawrence, D. H.
Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don't are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.
Lebowitz, Fran
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
Dekker, Thomas
The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Gillman, Charlotte P.
Women are as old as they feel and men are old when they lose their feelings.
West, Mae
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Hepburn, Katharine
If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?
Astell, Mary
The being who, for most men, is the source of the most lively, and even, be it said, to the shame of philosophical delights, the most lasting joys; the being towards or for whom all their efforts tend for whom and by whom fortunes are made and lost; for whom, but especially by whom, artists and poets compose their most delicate jewels; from whom flow the most enervating pleasures and the most enriching sufferings -- woman, in a word, is not, for the artist in general... only the female of the human species. She is rather a divinity, a star.
Baudelaire, Charles
Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.
Crowne, John
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.
Chanel, Coco
Men don't know much about women. We do know when they're happy. We know when they're crying, and we know when they're pissed off. We just don't know in what order these are gonna come at us.
Davis, Evan
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
Man, born of woman, has found it a hard thing to forgive her for giving him birth. The patriarchal protest against the ancient matriarch has borne strange fruit through the years.
Smith, Lillian
There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.
Diderot, Denis
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
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
Greer, Germaine
We have now traced the history of women from Paradise to the nineteenth century and have heard nothing through the long roll of the ages but the clank of their fetters.
Wilde, Lady Jane
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Millet, Kate
A woman who takes things from a man is called a girlfriend, a man who takes things from a woman is called a gigolo.
Stein, Ruthie
The fact is, you have fallen lately, Cecily, into a bad habit of thinking for yourself. You should give it up. It is not quite womanly... men don't like it.
Wilde, Oscar
I'm anal retentive. I'm a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I'm a control freak. That's why I'm not married. Who could stand me?
Madonna
What Women Want: To be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be respected, to be needed, to be trusted, and sometimes, just to be held. What Men Want: Tickets for the world series.
Barry, Dave
