Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
The real thinking of woman is pre-eminently practical and applied. It is something we describe as sound common sense, and is usually directed to what is close at hand and personal. In general, it can be said that feminine mentality manifests an undeveloped, childlike, or primitive character; instead of the thirst for knowledge, curiosity; instead of judgment, prejudice; instead of thinking, imagination or dreaming; instead of will, wishing. Where a man takes up objective problems, a woman contents herself with solving riddles; where he battles for knowledge and understanding, she contents herself with faith or superstition, or else she makes assumptions.
Jung, Emma

2.
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

3.
A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
Lynes, Russell

4.
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

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

7.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

8.
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

9.
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.

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

11.
Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.
Rowland, Helen

12.
The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
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.

14.
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

15.
To be successful, a woman has to be better at her job than a man.
Meir, Golda

16.
The source of all life and knowledge is in man and woman, and the source of all living is in the interchange and the meeting and mingling of these two: man-life and woman-life, man-knowledge and woman-knowledge, man-being and woman-being.
Lawrence, D. H.

17.
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.

18.
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

19.
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
Curtis, George William

20.
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Fuller, Margaret

21.
When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
Franklin, Benjamin

22.
Women serve but to keep a man from better company.
Wycherley, William

23.
Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.
Pizzey, Erin

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.
Greer, Germaine

28.
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

29.
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

30.
While farmers generally allow one rooster for ten hens, ten men are scarcely sufficient to service one woman.
Boccaccio, Giovanni

31.
If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?
Astell, Mary

32.
A woman is like a teabag -- only in hot water do you realize how strong she is.
Reagan, Nancy

33.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

34.
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

35.
Woman's destiny is to be wanton, like the bitch, the she-wolf; she must belong to all who claim her.
Sade, Marquis De

36.
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
Millet, Kate

37.
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Paglia, Camille

38.
Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.
Earhart, Amelia

39.
There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifery.
Mandeville, Bernard

40.
When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.
Gray, John

41.
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

42.
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

43.
We have now traced the history of women from Paradise to the nineteenth century and have heard nothing through the long roll of the ages but the clank of their fetters.
Wilde, Lady Jane

44.
Men are motivated and empowered when they feel needed. Women are motivated and empowered when they feel cherished.
Gray, John

45.
A man's idea in a game of cards is war, cruel, devastating, and pitiless. A lady's idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.
Dunne, Finley Peter

46.
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

47.
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor

48.
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

49.
It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.
Brookner, Anita

50.
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
