Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
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.

2.
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

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

6.
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

7.
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

8.
If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.
Sand, George

9.
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
Aristophanes

10.
A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

11.
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

12.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De

13.
Women receive he insults of men with tolerance, having been bitten in the nipple by their toothless gums.
Laing, Dilys

14.
When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.
Gray, John

15.
Women are considered deep -- why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
There is very little difference between men and women in space.
Sharman, Helen

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.
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

22.
When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
There is a growing strength in women, but it's in the forehead, not in the forearm.
Sills, Beverly

24.
When a woman behaves like a man why doesn't she behave like a nice man?
Evans, Dame Edith

25.
To be successful, a woman has to be better at her job than a man.
Meir, Golda

26.
A women under stress is not immediately concerned with finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood.
Gray, John

27.
Women are as old as they feel and men are old when they lose their feelings.
West, Mae

28.
To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
Austen, Jane

29.
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

30.
Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.
Crowne, John

31.
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.

32.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Antrim, Minna

37.
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

38.
Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
Kundera, Milan

39.
Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

40.
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.

41.
What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
Byron, Lord

42.
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

43.
She even had a kind of special position among men: she was an exception, she fitted none of the categories they commonly used when talking about girls; she wasn't a cock-teaser, a cold fish, an easy lay or a sneaky bitch; she was an honorary person. She had grown to share their contempt for most women.
Atwood, Margaret

44.
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor

45.
If man knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.
Porter, O. Henry

46.
I really think that American gentlemen are the best after all, because kissing your hand may make you feel very good but a diamond and a sapphire bracelet lasts forever.
Loos, Anita

47.
Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.
Proust, Marcel

48.
The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn't need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder -- in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.
Angelou, Maya

49.
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.

50.
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
Dekker, Thomas
