- Diderot, Denis
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
Woolf, Virginia

2.
What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive!
Herzen, Alexander

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
You've got many refinements. I don't think you need to worry about your failure at long division. I mean, after all, you got through short division, and short division is all that a lady ought to be called on to cope with.
Williams, Tennessee

7.
Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

8.
If the wife sins, the husband is not innocent.
Proverb, Italian

9.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.
Chanel, Coco

10.
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

11.
Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.
Mencken, H. L.

12.
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

13.
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Renoir, Pierre Auguste

14.
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

15.
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

16.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

17.
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

18.
Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.
Crowne, John

19.
A woman cannot do the thing she ought, which means whatever perfect thing she can, in life, in art, in science, but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it, -- prate of woman's rights, of woman's mission, woman's function, till the men (who are prating, too, on their side) cry,A woman's function plainly is... to talk. Poor souls, they are very reasonably vexed!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

26.
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

27.
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

28.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
Luce, Clare Boothe

30.
It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her.
Geraldy, Paul

31.
I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to denythe fact that I love to be with men.
Hawn, Goldie

32.
The woman's vision is deep reaching, the man's far reaching. With the man the world is his heart, with the woman the heart is her world.
Grable, Betty

33.
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

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

36.
Women serve but to keep a man from better company.
Wycherley, William

37.
Women are natural guerrillas. Scheming, we nestle into the enemy's bed, avoiding open warfare, watching the options, playing the odds.
Kempton, Sally

38.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Earhart, Amelia

39.
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.

40.
Women are as old as they feel and men are old when they lose their feelings.
West, Mae

41.
Eve is a twofold mystery.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

42.
Whether women are better than men I cannot say, but I can say they are certainly no worse.
Meir, Golda

43.
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
Friedan, Betty

44.
The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
Wilde, Oscar

45.
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.

46.
Woman is the Nigger of the World.
Lennon, John

47.
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

48.
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

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.
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
