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
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?

A woman is like a salad: much depends on the dressing
ANONYMOUS
Women men want to sleep with always win when men are making the decisions.

Tickled Pink: A Comic Novel
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
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

I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

Women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.
WILLIAM CONGREVE
Love for Love
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 It's not actually super hard to give up ignorant, outdated phrases like these, but the meanings behind them tend to stick if you adopt sayings like these at all.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.

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
I don't see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one woman to love him dearly.

Most women are not so young as they are painted.

Women's eyes have pierced more hearts than ever did the bullets of war.
WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY
Proverbs
A woman's charm is fifty percent illusion.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
A Streetcar Named Desire
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

A woman that speaks the truth finds no favor in my eyes, for she disturbs the pretty theories I cherish about her sex.

If you don't think women are explosive, drop one.
