WOMEN QUOTES III
quotations about women
When women take off their corsets and heighten their skirts it always means high inflation and low morals.
JAMES LAVER
attributed, Sûrya India, vol. 12
Women men want to sleep with always win when men are making the decisions.
RITA RUDNER
Tickled Pink: A Comic Novel
I could not possibly love one woman, having known the holiness of all women.
DOUGLAS CARLTON ABRAMS
The Lost Diary of Don Juan
A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing
ANONYMOUS
Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.
OSCAR WILDE
A Woman of No Importance
What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.
SYLVIA PLATH
The Bell Jar
A woman's charm is fifty percent illusion.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
A Streetcar Named Desire
Raising sons who respect women is something that Millennial feminists do by being mindful of their vocabulary. There's no talk of opening that jar of pickles "like a man" or "throwing like a girl." It's not actually super hard to give up ignorant, outdated phrases like these, but the meanings behind them tend to stick if you adopt sayings like these at all. I don't think I've ever heard my husband insinuate that he is stronger than me simply because he's a man in front of our son or otherwise. I guess he just knows better.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
JOHN GRAY
Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
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
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
JOHN STEINBECK
East of Eden
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.
IRVING BERLIN
"A Pretty Girl is like a Melody"
Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
WILLIAM CONGREVE
Love for Love
Most women desire someone who makes them laugh and also feel safe, so basically a clown ninja.
ANONYMOUS
Woman ... is the divine object, violated, endlessly sacrificed yet always reborn, whose only joy, achieved through a subtle interplay of images, lies in contemplation of herself.
PAULINE RÉAGE
introduction, The Image
If women are by barbarians reduced to the level of slaves, it is because barbarians themselves have never yet risen to the rank of men.
ARISTOTLE
Politics
The plainest man who pays attention to women, will sometimes succeed as well as the handsomest man who does not.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Women's eyes have pierced more hearts than ever did the bullets of war.
WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY
Proverbs
If you don't think women are explosive, drop one.
GERALD F. LIEBERMAN
attributed, Dim Wit: The Stupidest Quotes of All Time
I think women of a certain generation, mine in particular, feel like we can have it all because that's what we were fed. It's like, we reap the benefits of the feminist movement -- they did all the legwork and now we're going to try to be parents and successful business people and great wives and good friends and take a cooking class and blah, blah, blah ...
