Best Quotes about Women
The individual woman is required a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self-respect out of the wreckage of her good disposition.
Rankin, Jeannette
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
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
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.
Berger, John
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David
Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.
Billings, Josh
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
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara
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.
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
Dekker, Thomas
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
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
There is a growing strength in women, but it's in the forehead, not in the forearm.
Sills, Beverly
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
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
Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.
Antrim, Minna
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
Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.
Earhart, Amelia
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
Curtis, George William
The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! . It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness.
Oliphant, Margaret
Men never remember, but women never forget.
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
Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it.
Bird, Caroline
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
There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies.
Diderot, Denis
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Paglia, Camille
It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
Duras, Marguerite
Women are considered deep -- why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Women sometimes seem to share a quiet, unalterable dogma of persecution that endows even the most sophisticated of them with the inarticulate poignancy of the peasant.
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Woolf, Virginia
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Austen, Jane
Man loves little and often. Woman much and rarely.
Basta
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
Millet, Kate
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.
Men naturally resent it when women take greater liberties in dress than men are allowed.
Korda, Michael
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
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel
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
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
If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys.
Welles, Orson
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
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
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Fuller, Margaret
Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim.
Farquhar, George
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
It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her.
Geraldy, Paul
Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.
Rooney, Mickey
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.
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
