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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
It takes one woman twenty years to make a man of her son -- and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.
Rowland, Helen

2.
If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Carter, Angela

3.
A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does.
Angelis, Barbara De

4.
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.

5.
Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.
Qur'an

6.
If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from her; and if she does not possess them she runs away from herself.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

7.
Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later, for another thing, they die earlier.
Mencken, H. L.

8.
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

9.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar

10.
Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Austen, Jane

12.
It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her.
Geraldy, Paul

13.
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

14.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
Stephens, James

15.
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
Greer, Germaine

16.
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

17.
A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

18.
A woman should say: Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman? If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.
Cartland, Barbara

19.
I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to denythe fact that I love to be with men.
Hawn, Goldie

20.
Nature has not placed us in an inferior rank to men, no more than the females of other animals, where we see no distinction of capacity, though I am persuaded if there was a commonwealth of rational horses... it would be an established maxim amongst them that a mare could not be taught to pace.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

21.
The most important thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is that one of them must be good at taking orders.
Festa, Linda

22.
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

23.
Good women always think it is their fault when someone else is being offensive. Bad women never take the blame for anything.
Brookner, Anita

24.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

25.
We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

26.
Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.
Feather, William

27.
Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

28.
If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?
Steinem, Gloria

29.
It is not women's fault if we are so tender. It is in the nature of the lives we live. And further, it would be a terrible catastrophe if men had to live men's lives and women's also. Which is precisely what has happened today -- to women.
James, Selma

30.
They talk about a woman's sphere, as though it had a limit. There's not a place in earth or heaven. There's not a task to mankind given... without a woman in it.
Field, Kate

31.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
Proverb, Italian

32.
A Woman is home caring for her children! even if she can't. Trapped in this well-built trap, A Woman blames her mother for luring her into it, while ensuring that her own daughter never gets out; she recoils from the idea of sisterhood and doesn't believe women have friends, because it probably means something unnatural, and anyhow, A Woman is afraid of women. She's a male construct, and she's afraid women will deconstruct her. She's afraid of everything, because she can't change. Thighs forever thin and shining hair and shining teeth and she's my Mom, too, all seven percent of her. And she never grows old.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

33.
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

34.
A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

35.
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Woolf, Virginia

36.
Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it.
Bird, Caroline

37.
I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.
Twain, Mark

38.
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

39.
Eve is a twofold mystery.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

40.
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
Dekker, Thomas

41.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Earhart, Amelia

42.
Women are as old as they feel and men are old when they lose their feelings.
West, Mae

43.
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

44.
The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

45.
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

46.
A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless -- for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.
Irving, Washington

47.
To behold her is an immediate check to loose behavior; to love her is a liberal education.
Steele, Sir Richard

48.
If it were not somewhat fanciful to suppose that every human excellence is presented, as it were, in one kind of being, we might believe that the whole treasure of morality and order is enshrined in the female character.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

49.
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel

50.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
Luce, Clare Boothe
