Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
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

2.
Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.
Gourmont, Remy De

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.
Weininger, Otto

7.
Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him.
Antrim, Minna

8.
If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?
Steinem, Gloria

9.
The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.
Cher

10.
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
Friedan, Betty

11.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Wycherley, William

12.
A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
Lynes, Russell

13.
Woman! The peg on which the wit hangs his jest, the preacher his text, the cynic his grouch, and the sinner his justification!
Rowland, Helen

14.
I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men.
Eliot, George

15.
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor

16.
The cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the egg.
Thatcher, Margaret

17.
The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion is about a woman.
James, Henry

18.
Most women defend themselves. It is the female of the species -- it is the tigress and lioness in you -- which tends to defend when attacked.
Thatcher, Margaret

19.
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

20.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Woolf, Virginia

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Eve is a twofold mystery.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

24.
Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Woolf, Virginia

25.
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

26.
Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.
Byron, Lord

27.
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Millet, Kate

28.
The cruelest thing a man can do to a woman is to portray her as perfection.
Lawrence, D. H.

29.
A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

30.
Woman's destiny is to be wanton, like the bitch, the she-wolf; she must belong to all who claim her.
Sade, Marquis De

31.
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

32.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

33.
If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Carter, Angela

34.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
Luce, Clare Boothe

35.
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Woolf, Virginia

36.
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

37.
The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! . It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness.
Oliphant, Margaret

38.
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel

39.
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

40.
Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.
Billings, Josh

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.
Deutsch, Helene

47.
Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.
Pizzey, Erin

48.
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

49.
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

50.
Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.
Astor, Lady Nancy
