Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

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

2.
Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.
Proust, Marcel

3.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.
Nin, Anais

5.
The main difference between men and woman is that men are lunatics and woman are idiots.
West, Rebecca

6.
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

7.
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

8.
There is a growing strength in women, but it's in the forehead, not in the forearm.
Sills, Beverly

9.
If women were humbler, men would be more honest.
Vanbrugh, Sir John

10.
There are certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are of pretty woman to deserve them.
Austen, Jane

11.
Woman is the Nigger of the World.
Lennon, John

12.
He is half of a blessed man. Left to be finished by such as she; and she a fair divided excellence, whose fullness of perfection lies in him.
Shakespeare, William

13.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Wycherley, William

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel

17.
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

18.
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

19.
We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed -- because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.
Eliot, George

20.
Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

21.
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

22.
Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.
Byron, Lord

23.
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

24.
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
Durrell, Lawrence

25.
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
Greer, Germaine

26.
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

27.
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

28.
It takes one woman twenty years to make a man of her son -- and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him.
Rowland, Helen

29.
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

30.
Men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
Angelis, Barbara De

31.
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Antrim, Minna

32.
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

33.
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

34.
A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does.
Angelis, Barbara De

35.
Once a man is on hand, a woman tends to stop believing in her own beliefs.
Dowling, Colette

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Man, born of woman, has found it a hard thing to forgive her for giving him birth. The patriarchal protest against the ancient matriarch has borne strange fruit through the years.
Smith, Lillian

40.
The one woman who never gives herself is your free woman, who is always giving herself.
Lawrence, D. H.

41.
A typical minority group stereotype -- woman as nigger -- if she knows her place (home), she is really a quite lovable, loving creature, happy and childlike.
Weisstein, Naomi

42.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

43.
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

44.
Men know that women are an over-match for them, and therefore they choose the weakest or most ignorant. If they did not think so, they never could be afraid of women knowing as much as themselves.
Johnson, Samuel

45.
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

46.
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

47.
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.

48.
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.

49.
Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it.
Bird, Caroline

50.
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
