Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

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

3.
Men and women, women and men; it will never work.
Jong, Erica

4.
It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
Duras, Marguerite

5.
Women receive he insults of men with tolerance, having been bitten in the nipple by their toothless gums.
Laing, Dilys

6.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

7.
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

8.
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

9.
A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover -- but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
Byron, Lord

10.
Whatever they may be in public life, whatever their relations with men, in their relations with women, all men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, their codes.
French, Marilyn

11.
The mouth of a cannon is safer that the mouth of a woman scorned.

12.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Woolf, Virginia

13.
Coming to terms with the rhythms of women's lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.
Mead, Margaret

14.
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

15.
Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.
Antrim, Minna

16.
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

17.
Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Woolf, Virginia

18.
The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
Wilde, Oscar

19.
The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
Lawrence, D. H.

20.
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

21.
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

22.
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

23.
The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.
Stark, Freya

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion is about a woman.
James, Henry

30.
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

31.
Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.
Gray, John

32.
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Millet, Kate

33.
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

34.
The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.
Cher

35.
What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
Byron, Lord

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds.
Crowne, John

41.
Men naturally resent it when women take greater liberties in dress than men are allowed.
Korda, Michael

42.
Man loves little and often. Woman much and rarely.
Basta

43.
It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her.
Geraldy, Paul

44.
Women are considered deep -- why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

45.
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

46.
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

47.
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
The main difference between men and woman is that men are lunatics and woman are idiots.
West, Rebecca

49.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

50.
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
