WOMEN QUOTES II
quotations about women
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.
ANITA BROOKNER
A Friend from England
A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing
ANONYMOUS
I think that women as a group are so powerful. I still don't think we are able to embrace our power well enough yet. We think we live in a man's world and we have to follow their rules, and yet, we're so different, and our rules are so different. I wish that we could come together more as a political force. If women ran the world, I don't believe that there would be war. I really don't.... We understand the bigger picture. We understand our impact on the environment, on the world. We understand the generations that will go after us because we gave birth to them.
KYRA SEDGWICK
Newsweek, October 15, 2007
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
WILLIAM CONGREVE
Love for Love
A woman that speaks the truth finds no favor in my eyes, for she disturbs the pretty theories I cherish about her sex.
ABRAHAM MILLER
Unmoral Maxims
If you don't think women are explosive, drop one.
GERALD F. LIEBERMAN
attributed, Dim Wit: The Stupidest Quotes of All Time
It's the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It's a story got up, because the women are there, and something must be found for 'em to do. 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.... I tell you, a woman 'ull bake you a pie every week of her life, and never come to see that the hotter th' oven the shorter the time.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find; that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
Women men want to sleep with always win when men are making the decisions.
RITA RUDNER
Tickled Pink: A Comic Novel
I don't see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one woman to love him dearly.
GEORGE ELIOT
Middlemarch
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
BARBRA STREISAND
People Magazine, May 31, 1993
Most women desire someone who makes them laugh and also feel safe, so basically a clown ninja.
ANONYMOUS
Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?
TAMARA ANGELA GRANT
"Women Are Necessary...", Huffington Post, March 9, 2017
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY
speech after her arrest for voting in the 1872 presidential election
Women's eyes have pierced more hearts than ever did the bullets of war.
WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY
Proverbs
A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
attributed, Woman's Day, August 2011
Commit a child to the care of a worthless, ignorant woman, and no culture in after-life will remedy the evil you have done.
SAMUEL SMILES
Character
I seen a pretty woman in a red dress ... And then I seen her take it off. What else is there?
WILLIAM GAY
Provinces of Night
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
Most women are not so young as they are painted.
