WOMEN QUOTES II
quotations about women
I, Woman, am that wonder-breathing rose
That blossoms in the garden of the King.
ELSA BARKER
The Mystic Rose
A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing
ANONYMOUS
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
If you don't think women are explosive, drop one.
GERALD F. LIEBERMAN
attributed, Dim Wit: The Stupidest Quotes of All Time
Men's eyes are in their heads; women's, in their hearts.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
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
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 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
You won't regret the men you never killed, but you will regret the women you passed up.
BERNARD CORNWELL

I could not possibly love one woman, having known the holiness of all women.

Every world has faults
This one has too many
Unattainable Female Objects.
DAVID JONATHAN NEWMAN
"U.F.O.", The Light Looks Another Way
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
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
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
JOHN GRAY
Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
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 ...
SARAH JESSICA PARKER
interview, BBC, December 13, 2005
[Women] ... is nothin' but little girls in long skirts, and their hair done up.
EDNA FERBER
"Sun Dried"
Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.
JOHN BERGER
Ways of Seeing
I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
FRANK SINATRA
attributed, The Way You Wear Your Hat
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
GEORGE ELIOT
The Mill on the Floss
Women could be trying at times, but they often brought warmth and pleasure to a man's fire.
JEAN M. AUEL
The Clan of the Cave Bear
