Women

Men naturally resent it when women take greater liberties in dress than men are allowed.
- Korda, Michael
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.
Gray, John

2.
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

3.
Men and women, women and men; it will never work.
Jong, Erica

4.
Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

5.
Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.
Astor, Lady Nancy

6.
It is not her body that he wants but it is only through her body that he can take possession of another human being, so he must labor upon her body, he must enter her body, to make his claim.
Oates, Joyce Carol

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
The great majority of men, especially in France, both desire and possess a fashionable woman, much in the way one might own a fine horse -- as a luxury befitting a young man.
Stendhal, Henri B.

11.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Eve is a twofold mystery.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

16.
There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.
Diderot, Denis

17.
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

18.
I think being a woman is like being Irish. Everyone says you're important and nice, but you take second place all the same.
Murdoch, Iris

19.
The clich? that women, more consistently than men, turn inward for sustenance seems to mean, in practice, that women have richly defined the ways in which imagination creates possibility; possibility that society denies.
Spacks, Patricia Meyer

20.
Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically.
Barry, Dave

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Woman is the Nigger of the World.
Lennon, John

24.
It is well within the order of things that man should listen when his mate sings; but the true male never yet walked who liked to listen when his mate talked.
Wickham, Anna

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Women serve but to keep a man from better company.
Wycherley, William

28.
All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.
Deutsch, Helene

29.
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

30.
If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Carter, Angela

31.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De

32.
Women, despite the fact that nine out of ten of them go through life with a death-bed air either of snatching-the-last-moment or with martyr-resignation, do not die tomorrow -- or the next day. They have to live on to any one of many bitter ends.

33.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
Stephens, James

34.
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

35.
So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.
Aristotle

36.
What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
Byron, Lord

37.
To me the female principle is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it. Women know where it lives but they can let it alone.
Hoban, Russell

42.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Wycherley, William

43.
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

44.
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.

45.
The one woman who never gives herself is your free woman, who is always giving herself.
Lawrence, D. H.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Once women begin to question the inevitability of their subordination and to reject the conventions formerly associated with it, they can no longer retreat to the safety of those conventions. The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the clich? that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.
Lasch, Christopher

49.
I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.
Rooney, Mickey

50.
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
