Women Quotes (page 119)

There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song Neil Gaiman
Usually, when people talk about the "strength" of black women . . . . they ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation. Bell Hooks
he took a cable which had been service on a blue-bowed ship, made one end fast to a high column in the portico, and threw the other over the round-house, high up, so that their feet would not touch the ground. As when long-winged thrushes or doves get entangled in a snare . . . so the women's heads were held fast in a row, with nooses round their necks, to bring them to the most pitiable end. For a little while their feet twitched, but not for very long. Homer
Confound you handsome young fellows! You think of having it all your own way in the world. You don't understand women. They don't admire you half so much as you admire yourselves. George Eliot
Mae West quote: "Good women are no fun... The only good woman I can recall in..."
Good women are no fun... The only good woman I can recall in history was Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag. Mae West
Some mothers in today's world feel "cumbered" by home duties and are thus attracted by other more "romantic" challenges. Such women could make the same error of perspective that Martha made. The woman, for instance, who deserts the cradle in order to help defend civilization against the barbarians may well later meet, among the barbarians, her own neglected child. Neal A. Maxwell
The limits of variation are really much wider than any one would imagine from the sameness of women's coiffure and the favourite love-stories in prose and verse. Here and there a cygnet is reared uneasily among the ducklings in the brown pond, and never finds the living stream in fellowship with its own oary-footed kind. Here and there is born a Saint Theresa, foundress of nothing, whose loving heart-beats and sobs after an unattained goodness tremble off and are dispersed among hindrances,... George Eliot
Marguerite Duras quote: "Life is only lived full-time by women with children."
Life is only lived full-time by women with children. Marguerite Duras
I want to give a really BAD party. I mean it. I want to give a party where there’s a brawl and seductions and people going home with their feelings hurt and women passed out in the cabinet de toilette. You wait and see. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Walt Whitman quote: "In the faces of men and women, I see God."
In the faces of men and women, I see God. Walt Whitman
Erma Bombeck quote: "Just think of all those women on the Titanic who said, 'No..."
Just think of all those women on the Titanic who said, 'No thank you' to desert that night. And for what?! Erma Bombeck
Workers? men and women? of all countries, place yourselves under the banner of the Fourth International. It is the banner of your approaching victory! Leon Trotsky
Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men. Joss Whedon
Here is the chance for young women and young men of devotion to lift again the banner of humanity and to walk toward a civilization which will be free and intelligent; which will be healthy and unafraid, and build in the world a culture led by black folk and joined by peoples of all colors and all races - without poverty, ignorance and disease! W. E. B. Du Bois
She would walk through the kitchen at any hour, whenever she was hungry, and put her fork in the pots and eat a little of everything without placing anything on a plate, standing in front of the stove, talking to the serving women, who were the only ones with whom she felt comfortable, the ones she got along with best. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
