The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.

Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover -- but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
Byron, Lord

2.
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

3.
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

4.
If man knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.
Porter, O. Henry

5.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.
Chanel, Coco

6.
Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but decisive advantage. Through man's passions, nature has given man into woman's hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the end is not wise.
Sacher-Masoch, Leopold Von

7.
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

8.
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.

9.
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

10.
The main difference between men and woman is that men are lunatics and woman are idiots.
West, Rebecca

11.
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Fuller, Margaret

12.
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

13.
Men should be saying I want to become a woman. The world would be a far better place if more men wanted to become women, than women wanted to become men.
Halsey, Albert

14.
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

15.
Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.
Solanis, Valerie

16.
A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

17.
A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them; they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition.
Mencken, H. L.

18.
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
Lawrence, D. H.

19.
Women are most fascinating between the ages of thirty-five and forty, after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass forty, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.
Dior, Christian

20.
When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.
Maciver, Robert M.

21.
There is very little difference between men and women in space.
Sharman, Helen

22.
What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive!
Herzen, Alexander

23.
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

24.
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

25.
The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.
Cher

26.
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

27.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Woolf, Virginia

28.
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
Aristophanes

29.
Men naturally resent it when women take greater liberties in dress than men are allowed.
Korda, Michael

30.
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

31.
Women are natural guerrillas. Scheming, we nestle into the enemy's bed, avoiding open warfare, watching the options, playing the odds.
Kempton, Sally

32.
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

33.
The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.
Stark, Freya

34.
There is simply no dignified way for a woman to live alone. Oh, she can get along financially perhaps (though not nearly as well as a man), but emotionally she is never left in peace. Her friends, her family, her fellow workers never let her forget that her husbandlessness, her childlessness -- her selfishness, in short -- is a reproach to the American way of life.
Jong, Erica

35.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

36.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Earhart, Amelia

37.
Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.
Feather, William

38.
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

39.
Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.
Pizzey, Erin

40.
Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Woolf, Virginia

41.
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

42.
Women make love for love, men make love for lust.
Harge, Derrick

43.
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

44.
He is half of a blessed man. Left to be finished by such as she; and she a fair divided excellence, whose fullness of perfection lies in him.
Shakespeare, William

45.
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

46.
We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities -- courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning -- whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage.
Baudrillard, Jean

47.
Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.
Gourmont, Remy De

48.
It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago.
Clark, Eugenie

49.
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

50.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De
