Motivational Quotes

Women

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
Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
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

2.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Earhart, Amelia

3.
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor

4.
A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humors and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.
Chesterfield, Lord

5.
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
Greer, Germaine

6.
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

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Austen, Jane

11.
Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Woolf, Virginia

12.
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

13.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
Luce, Clare Boothe

14.
The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

15.
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

16.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
Stephens, James

17.
Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.
Byron, Lord

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

19.
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.
Hoagland, Edward

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

21.
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.

22.
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.
Berger, John

23.
Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it.
Bird, Caroline

24.
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
Wilde, Oscar

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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.

28.
Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.

29.
What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
Byron, Lord

30.
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Woolf, Virginia

31.
To behold her is an immediate check to loose behavior; to love her is a liberal education.
Steele, Sir Richard

32.
To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
Austen, Jane

33.
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

34.
Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.
Gray, John

35.
The real thinking of woman is pre-eminently practical and applied. It is something we describe as sound common sense, and is usually directed to what is close at hand and personal. In general, it can be said that feminine mentality manifests an undeveloped, childlike, or primitive character; instead of the thirst for knowledge, curiosity; instead of judgment, prejudice; instead of thinking, imagination or dreaming; instead of will, wishing. Where a man takes up objective problems, a woman contents herself with solving riddles; where he battles for knowledge and understanding, she contents herself with faith or superstition, or else she makes assumptions.
Jung, Emma

36.
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

37.
Woman is the Nigger of the World.
Lennon, John

38.
Women of quality are so civil, you can hardly distinguish love from good breeding.
Wycherley, William

39.
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

40.
Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.
Gourmont, Remy De

41.
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

42.
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

43.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
Cartland, Barbara

44.
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

45.
Were there no women, men might live like gods.
Dekker, Thomas

46.
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

47.
To me the female principle is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

48.
It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago.
Clark, Eugenie

49.
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

50.
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
Antrim, Minna
