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 tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
attributed, Woman's Day, August 2011
Every woman in choosing a lover takes more account of the way in which other women regard the man than of her own.
CHAMFORT
The Cynic's Breviary
[Women] ... is nothin' but little girls in long skirts, and their hair done up.
EDNA FERBER
"Sun Dried"
I, Woman, am that wonder-breathing rose
That blossoms in the garden of the King.
ELSA BARKER
The Mystic Rose
With women the heart argues, not the mind.
MATTHEW ARNOLD
Merope
If you don't think women are explosive, drop one.
GERALD F. LIEBERMAN
attributed, Dim Wit: The Stupidest Quotes of All Time
When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole.
LOUISA MAY ALCOTT
Little Women
The woman brings her unique wisdom, her ability to bring life and build it up, laying down the natural foundations and a delicate and ethical approach to the education of children. She has within her a unique treasure trove which no other creation has.
YIGAL LEVINSTEIN
Jerusalem Post, March 28, 2017
This view that women are somehow inferior to men is not restricted to one religion or belief. Women are prevented from playing a full and equal role in many faiths. Nor, tragically, does its influence stop at the walls of the church, mosque, synagogue or temple. This discrimination, unjustifiably attributed to a Higher Authority, has provided a reason or excuse for the deprivation of women's equal rights across the world for centuries. At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities.... The truth is that male religious leaders have had -- and still have -- an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter.
JIMMY CARTER
"Losing My Religion for Equality"
I think one of the greatest losses to humanity was the domination of women. I think every religious system has found ways to be kind to them in a kind of subordinate way. Very patronizing, very colonial. But if you start looking at the fabric of society, even religious systems, they would fall apart if it wasn't for the embedded ability of the women who are involved.
WM. PAUL YOUNG
New Statesman, January 3, 2013
It's typical of the differences in a man's life and a woman's A man is allowed to wear boxer shorts that tickle his knees. A woman has to wear a slingshot.
RITA RUDNER
I Still Have It ... I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It
Can a woman entertain a man and a pet at the same time? I say unto thee, one of the twain shall suffer jealousy.
GELETT BURGESS
The Maxims of Methuselah
Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Thus Spake Zarathustra
Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity. They live inside the gift, know power, accept, and need not mention it. Why speak of time when you are Time, and shape the universal moments, as they pass, into warmth and action?
RAY BRADBURY
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses.
DOROTHY PARKER
New York World, August 16, 1925
There are few women whose charm survives their beauty.
FRANÇOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims
When Man and Woman die, as Poets sung,
His Heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Poor Richard's Almanack, 1739
The most trying misfortune that can befall a man, is to be domesticated with a bad-tempered woman.
