Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
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

2.
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Woolf, Virginia

3.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

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

5.
Men and women, women and men; it will never work.
Jong, Erica

6.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Earhart, Amelia

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.
Antrim, Minna

10.
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

11.
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

12.
Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.
Crowne, John

13.
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.

14.
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

15.
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Paglia, Camille

16.
Growing up female in America. What a liability! You grew up with your ears full of cosmetic ads, love songs, advice columns, whoreoscopes, Hollywood gossip, and moral dilemmas on the level of TV soap operas. What litanies the advertisers of the good life chanted at you! What curious catechisms!
Jong, Erica

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
The man of the house can destroy the pleasure of the household, but he cannot make it. That rests with the woman, and it is her greatest privilege.
Helps, Sir Arthur

21.
Men never remember, but women never forget.

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.
Brookner, Anita

26.
The common foible of women who have been handsome is to forget that they are no longer so.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

27.
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

28.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Austen, Jane

29.
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.

30.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Wycherley, William

31.
Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.
Pizzey, Erin

32.
When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.
Maciver, Robert M.

33.
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

34.
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

35.
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
Aristophanes

36.
The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion is about a woman.
James, Henry

37.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
Stephens, James

38.
The angel of the Family is Woman. Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.
Mazzini, Giuseppe

39.
A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

40.
The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.
Cher

41.
To be successful, a woman has to be better at her job than a man.
Meir, Golda

42.
We all enter the world little plastic beings, with so much natural force, perhaps, but for the rest -- blank; and the world tells us what we are to be, and shapes us by the ends it sets before us. To you it says -- Work; and to us it says -- Seem! To you it says -- As you approximate to man's highest ideal of God, as your arm is strong and your knowledge great, and the power to labor is with you, so you shall gain all that human heart desires. To us it says -- Strength shall not help you, nor knowledge, nor labor. You shall gain what men gain, but by other means. And so the world makes men and women.
Schreiner, Olive

43.
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

44.
When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even out virtues.
Balzac, Honore De

45.
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

46.
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

47.
The main difference between men and woman is that men are lunatics and woman are idiots.
West, Rebecca

48.
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

49.
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
Friedan, Betty

50.
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
