Motivational Quotes
Women
Don't you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you'll never be a dominant force in the world? You'll never be a convincing technocrat or middle manager. Because people will know. She's in there sitting down.
Best Quotes about Women
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
Curtis, George William
I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.
Rooney, Mickey
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor
If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?
Astell, Mary
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
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
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
Women have no wilderness in them. They are provident instead content in the tight hot cell of their hearts. To eat dusty bread.
Bogan, Louise
Girls we love for what they are; men for what they promise to be.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.
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
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
You may be a princess or the richest woman in the world, but you cannot be more than a lady.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar
Women make love for love, men make love for lust.
Harge, Derrick
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel
Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
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
If women were humbler, men would be more honest.
Vanbrugh, Sir John
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
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
The cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the egg.
Thatcher, Margaret
The one woman who never gives herself is your free woman, who is always giving herself.
Lawrence, D. H.
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
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
A woman might claim to retain some of the child's faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.
Greer, Germaine
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
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
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
Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.
Pizzey, Erin
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
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Woolf, Virginia
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
When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
Franklin, Benjamin
Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.
Dworkin, Andrea
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
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
Like their personal lives, women's history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.
Janeway, Elizabeth
Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.
Gray, John
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
Aristophanes
Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.
Baudrillard, Jean
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.
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Fuller, Margaret
The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
Wilde, Oscar
I'm anal retentive. I'm a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I'm a control freak. That's why I'm not married. Who could stand me?
Madonna
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
Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.
Qur'an
