- Women are like tricks by
sleight of hand,
- Which, to admire, we should
not understand.
WILLIAM CONGREVE, Love
for Love
|
It is the plain women who know
about love; the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.
KATHARINE HEPBURN, Evan Esar's 20,000
Quips & Quotes
|
There is in every true woman's
heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad
daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and
blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
WASHINGTON IRVING, The
Sketch Book

For I cannot think that GOD
Almighty ever made them [women] so delicate, so glorious
creatures; and furnished them with such charms, so agreeable and
so delightful to mankind; with souls capable of the same
accomplishments with men: and all, to be only Stewards of our
Houses, Cooks, and Slaves.
DANIEL DEFOE, The Education
of Women

| No matter what a woman
looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy.

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, quoted in The
Way You Wear Your Hat
|
The strength of women comes from
the fact that psychology cannot explain us. Men can be analysed,
women ... merely adored.
OSCAR WILDE, The Ideal
Husband

I think that
women as a group are so powerful. I still
don't think we are able to embrace our power
well enough yet. We think we live in a man's
world and we have to follow their rules, and
yet, we're so different, and our rules are so
different. I wish that we could come together
more as a political force. If women ran the
world, I don't believe that there would be
war. I really don't.... We understand the
bigger picture. We understand our impact on
the environment, on the world. We understand
the generations that will go after us because
we gave birth to them.
