Women Quotes (page 146)

My brother, Jason, came into the bar, then, and sauntered over to give me a hug. He knows that women like a man who's good to his family and also kind to the disabled, so hugging me is a double whammy of recommendation. Charlaine Harris
But women aren't just bodies! ... boor! they're "companions" as well! what of their charms, their grace, their twitterings? sure, sure! if suicide appeals to you ... Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Harold Brodkey quote: "I often thought men stank of rage; it is why I preferred..."
I often thought men stank of rage; it is why I preferred women, and homosexuals. Harold Brodkey
Heads in the Women's Ward. On pillow after pillow lies. The wild white hair and staring eyes; Jaws stand open; necks are stretched. With every tendon sharply sketched; A bearded mouth talks silently. To someone no one else can see. Sixty years ago they smiled. At lover, husband, first-born child. Smiles are for youth. For old age come. Death's terror and delirium. Philip Larkin
I write the way women have babies. You don't know it's going to be like that. If you did, there's no way you would go through with it. Toni Morrison
Here's the thing: this eel spends its entire life trying to find a home, and what do you think women have inside them? Caves, where the eels like to live...when they find a cave they like, the wriggle around inside it for a while to be sure that...well, to be sure it's a nice cave, I suppose. And when they've made up their minds that it's comfortable, they mark the cave as their territory...by spitting. Arthur Golden
Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love. Bell Hooks
The women one meets - what are they but books one has already read? You're a library of the unknown, the uncut. Upon my word I've a subscription. Henry James
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "Once a month, some women act like men act all the time."
Once a month, some women act like men act all the time. Robert A. Heinlein
Think of all the women you know who will not allow themselves to be seen without makeup. I often wonder how they feel about themselves at night when they are climbing into bed with intimate partners. Are they overwhelmed with secret shame that someone sees them as they really are? Or do they sleep with rage that who they really are can be celebrated or cared for only in secret? Bell Hooks
Miss Morland, no one can think more highly of the understanding of women than I do. In my opinion, nature has given them so much, that they never find it necessary to use more than half. Jane Austen
The woman who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. Helen Hunt Jackson
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's sizeBut when I start to tell them,They think I'm telling lies.I say,It's in the reach of my armsThe span of my hips,The stride of my step,The curl of my lips.I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me. Maya Angelou
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "Alice wonders if other women in the middle of the night have..."
Alice wonders if other women in the middle of the night have begun to resent their Formica. Barbara Kingsolver
Howard was almost as fond of this hall as he was of his own shop. The Brownies used it on Tuesdays, and the Women's Institute on Wednesdays. It had hosted jumble sales and Jubilee celebrations, wedding receptions and wakes, and it smelled of all of these things: of stale clothes and coffee urns, and the ghosts of home-baked cakes and meat salads; of dust and human bodies; but primarily of aged wood and stone. J. K. Rowling
