A woman is like a universe; there are many things that even she still needs to discover about herself. Men on the other hand are miners, which means they are in a better position to uncover, perceive and appreciate things about women that they themselves have not yet come to the full realization of. Men know more about women than they can tell (it's for their own safety that they keep their mouths shut and pretend like they don't know anything, lest they get slammed for claming to know anything at all about women in the first place). Sadly, women are losing out on a wealth of knowledge and understanding about themselves by debunking men's ideas and notions about them especially when it comes to their femininity and sensuality. I think there is a need for women to start gently and safely asking men what they 'inherently' know about their femininity. I'm not a chauvinist nor a proponent for men's rights, but I strongly believe that men hold the keys to a lot of treasure chests that most women are daily striving to open up. Perhaps you should start inviting your man to get a little bit more involved in your feminine/sensual journey. It's only a suggestion... ~ Lebo Grand
A Woman Is quotes by Lebo Grand
There certainly are some women who treat their male partners badly, berating them, calling them names, attempting to control them. The negative impact on these men's lives can be considerable. But do we see men whose self-esteem is gradually destroyed through this process? Do we see men whose progress in school or in their careers grinds to a halt because of the constant criticism and undermining? Where are the men whose partners are forcing them to have unwanted sex? Where are the men who are fleeing to shelters in fear for their lives? How about the ones who try to get to a phone to call for help, but the women block their way or cut the line? The reason we don't generally see these men is simple: They're rare.
I don't question how embarrassing it would be for a man to come forward and admit that a woman is abusing him. But don't underestimate how humiliated a woman feels when she reveals abuse; women crave dignity just as much as men do. If shame stopped people from coming forward, no one would tell. ~ Lundy Bancroft
A Woman Is quotes by Lundy Bancroft
When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less. This truth is both shocking and unsurprising: shocking because no one would ever admit to stereotyping on the basis of gender and unsurprising because clearly we do. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
A Woman Is quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
She saw that he had singled her out from the three, as a woman is singled out in such cases, for no reasoned purpose of further acquaintance, but in commonplace obedience to conjunctive orders from headquarters, unconsciously received by unfortunate men when the last intention of their lives is to be occupied with the feminine. ~ Thomas Hardy
A Woman Is quotes by Thomas Hardy
... she is in the girl Matrix trying to catch invisible slow mo bullets those of us outside the Matrix can't see. You can always tell when a woman is with the wrong man because she has so much to say about the fact that nothing is happening. When a woman finds the right person, on the other hand, they just disappear for six months and then they resurface, eyes shiny and usually about six pounds heavier. ~ Caitlin Moran
A Woman Is quotes by Caitlin Moran
What if the reason I've never let myself fall in love with a woman is because I didn't have anything to give? Because I'd already given my heart to her when we were seventeen years old? And all these years ... I've just been waiting for her to come back to me with it. ~ Emma Chase
A Woman Is quotes by Emma Chase
The only reason I am glad I am a woman is because I will not have to marry one. ~ Ida Tarbell
A Woman Is quotes by Ida Tarbell
The excuse or toleration of cruelty upon any living creature by a woman is a deadly sin against the grandest force in nature - maternal love ... In not a single instance known to science has the cure of any human disease resulted necessarily from this fallacious method of research. ~ Elizabeth Blackwell
A Woman Is quotes by Elizabeth Blackwell
That's just what a woman is. She thinks she knows what's good for a man, and she's going to see he gets it; and no matter if he's starving, he may sit and whistle for what he needs, while she's got him, and is giving him what's good for him. ~ D.H. Lawrence
A Woman Is quotes by D.H. Lawrence
Never assume that a woman is wicked simply because she is ugly and behaves unfavorably towards you. It is unbecoming behavior for a Prince. ~ Catherynne M. Valente
A Woman Is quotes by Catherynne M. Valente
The Bible says that man lying with another man as with a woman is an abomination. I have never lain with a man as if he were a woman. I have no interest in such a thing. If I lie with a woman, it is because she is a woman and I want to treat her as one. If I lie with a man, it is because he is a man and I want to treat him as one. ~ W.A. Hoffman
A Woman Is quotes by W.A. Hoffman
I hate when people say, "Oh, you're just a teenager," or "It's hormonal." It's like, if a woman is agitated one day, people go, "Oh, she's on her period." That's such garbage. I think I was dealing with a combination of my own inner demons and resentment toward my parents from my earlier days. ~ Katy Rose
A Woman Is quotes by Katy Rose
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
A Woman Is quotes by Barbra Streisand
We've got minds and souls as well as hearts; ambition and talents as well as beauty and accomplishments; and we want to live and learn as well as love and be loved. I'm sick of being told that is all a woman is fit for! I won't have anything to do with love until I prove that I am something beside a housekeeper and a baby-tender! ~ Louisa May Alcott
A Woman Is quotes by Louisa May Alcott
One advantage to being a despised species is that you have freedom, freedom to be any crazy thing you want. If you listen to a group of housewives talk, you'll hear a lot of nonsense, some of it really crazy. This comes, I think, from being alone so much, and pursuing your own odd train of thought without impediment, which some call discipline. The result is craziness, but also brilliance. Ordinary women come out with the damnedest truth. You ignore them at your own risk. And they are permitted to go on making wild statements without being put in one kind of jail or another (some of them, anyway) because everyone knows they're crazy and powerless too. If a woman is religious or earthy, passive or wildly assertive, loving or hating, she doesn't get much more flak than if she isn't: her choices lie between being castigated as a ball and chain or as a whore. ~ Marilyn French
A Woman Is quotes by Marilyn French
Never, ever point out that a woman is eating too much. ~ Jessica Zafra
A Woman Is quotes by Jessica Zafra
If a woman is into me, it usually takes me awhile to figure that out. She has to hit me over the head with it. ~ Isaiah Mustafa
A Woman Is quotes by Isaiah Mustafa
Our whole world is entrenched in sin. There in the quiet of our hearts a woman is calling us, each one of us, back to her Son. Jesus is there for us in the Scriptures. How often do we ignore Him? We must shake off this indifference. Only the Faith and the wisdom of the Church can save us, but it requires men and women, warriors ready to risk their good names, even their very lives to stand up for the truth. ~ Jim Caviezel
A Woman Is quotes by Jim Caviezel
When a woman is full of cockiness, I wonder what makes her so insecure.
When a man is full of ego, I wonder what he's holding onto. ~ Nikki Rowe
A Woman Is quotes by Nikki Rowe
Punching a woman is like punching a one-year old black baby in the face ~ Sebastian Fors
A Woman Is quotes by Sebastian Fors
A woman is a fool that lives from penny to farthing and n'er looks to the possibility of loss. ~ Nancy E. Turner
A Woman Is quotes by Nancy E. Turner
Need me. Need me the way a woman is meant to need her husband. ~ Stephanie Dray
A Woman Is quotes by Stephanie Dray
The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her. ~ Marcelene Cox
A Woman Is quotes by Marcelene Cox
A woman is at the funeral of her mother. There, she meets a man she doesn't know and has never met, who she thinks is her dream partner. But because of the circumstances, she forgets to ask for his number, and she can't find him afterward. A few days later, she kills her own sister. Why? ~ Jodi Picoult
A Woman Is quotes by Jodi Picoult
If a woman is successful, she'd better duck, because they'll be out to get her. ~ Leona Helmsley
A Woman Is quotes by Leona Helmsley
Milly is not, in fact, ugly, but she might as well be. She has a pretty face, which is the same thing as ugly when a woman is fat. In the complex calculus between men and women, Milly understands that fat is always ugly and that ugly and skinny makes a woman eminently more desirable than fat and any combination such as beautiful, charming, intelligent, or kind. Milly is all those things. She knows it doesn't matter. ~ Roxane Gay
A Woman Is quotes by Roxane Gay
Mrs. MacAndrew shared the common opinion of her sex that a man is always a brute to leave a woman who is attached to him, but that a woman is much to blame if he does. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
A Woman Is quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Women are mere "beauties" in men's culture so that culture can be kept male. When women in culture show character, they are not desirable, as opposed to the desirable. A beautiful heroine is a contradiction in terms, since heroism is about individuality, interesting and ever changing, while "beauty" is generic, boring, and inert. While culture works out moral dilemmas, "beauty" is amoral: If a woman is born resembling an art object, it is an accident of nature, a fickle consensus of mass perception, a peculiar coincidence
but it is not a moral act. From the "beauties" in male culture, women learn a bitter amoral lesson
that the moral lessons of their culture exclude them. ~ Naomi Wolf
A Woman Is quotes by Naomi Wolf
Only a woman is capable of stalking someone, just so she could have the pleasure of ignoring him. ~ Aleksandra Ninkovic
A Woman Is quotes by Aleksandra Ninkovic
Just being a woman is God's gift. The origin of a child is a mother, a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring, and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman. ~ Sushmita Sen
A Woman Is quotes by Sushmita Sen
I'd like to know what law is it that says that a woman is a better parent, simply by virtue of her sex. ~ Robert Benton
A Woman Is quotes by Robert Benton
Trustin' a woman is like walkin' in California," Coydog would say. "You know there's bound to be a quake sometimes but you just keep on walkin' anyways. What else could you do? ~ Walter Mosley
A Woman Is quotes by Walter Mosley
The difference between working with a man and a woman ... is immense. ~ Sherilyn Fenn
A Woman Is quotes by Sherilyn Fenn
In every language, labels for adulterous women are far worse than those for similarly adventurous men. When a woman is a "a slut," a man is merely a skirt chaser. ~ Frans De Waal
A Woman Is quotes by Frans De Waal
And still you'll hesitate to tell him, won't you? Why? Because you're a woman? Is your destiny such a small thing then? To keep your legs open and your mouth shut? ~ David Hewson
A Woman Is quotes by David Hewson
Any man without a woman is incomplete, and vice-versa she's obsolete. ~ Kool Moe Dee
A Woman Is quotes by Kool Moe Dee
A woman is unruly if anyone has incorrectly decided that she's too much of something, and if she, in turn, has chosen to believe that she's just fine. ~ Jia Tolentino
A Woman Is quotes by Jia Tolentino
There are three things you must remember about a woman. Never take her for granted. Never think you know what she is thinking. And never think you know what she will do in a given situation. A woman is like smoke. She will curl seductively around you one moment, burn your eyes the next, tickle your throat until you cough, and then poof! She is gone. She is a mirage. She is a thunderstorm. She is a sailboat on a sunny mirrored lake. She will run when you reach for her, and come to you when you wish her away. You can solve a problem. You can analyze logic. You can explain how vapor turns into water. But you cannot understand the mind of a woman. And do you know why? Because she does not understand herself."
"Then what do you do?"
"You love her and deal with her in all honesty. You earn her trust. And then you trust the Almighty, who made women the way they are, believing that He knew what He was doing."
"What if that doesn't help?"
"Blame Him. ~ Elaine Coffman
A Woman Is quotes by Elaine Coffman
No, whether a woman is a concubine to fuck or a damsel to redeem, she's always just some passive object to fulfill a man's purpose. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
A Woman Is quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
she says to me:
'if you want to hurt a man, you don't kill
the man. you kill what he loves.'
i nod.
and then i ask her: 'so how do you hurt a woman?'
she answers:
'my child, a woman is hurting from the moment of birth. ~ Salma Deera
A Woman Is quotes by Salma Deera
When a woman is convinced that she can stop the violence in her marriage, her stubborn determination feeds her sense of failure each time she sees that she can't regulate her husband's demands and abuses. In a perverse type of review, she may then ask herself how she could have been so stupid as to overlook the early warnings. This further diminishes her self-esteem. ~ Susan Weitzman
A Woman Is quotes by Susan Weitzman
Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
A Woman Is quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three. ~ Robert Jordan
A Woman Is quotes by Robert Jordan
Why, in the Peking Opera, are women's roles played by men? ... Because only a man knows how a woman is supposed to act. ~ David Henry Hwang
A Woman Is quotes by David Henry Hwang
Maybe it wasn't exactly pain they felt when they saw her, but more a kind of fear, the kind of fear most women have. The fear that your peak attractiveness as a woman is behind you, and you either don't realize it or refuse to accept it, and go on acting the way you always have, and then people snub you and laugh at you behind your back. ~ Haruki Murakami
A Woman Is quotes by Haruki Murakami
It doesn't matter how gorgeous a woman is, to a man like Mick Riva, she's always less attractive after he's had sex with her. You know this. You allow it to happen. ~ Taylor Jenkins Reid
A Woman Is quotes by Taylor Jenkins Reid
But don't get me wrong. As far as a man and a woman is concerned, I'm awfully happy there's a thing called sex. It's an extra something God gave us. I see no reason why it shouldn't be in pictures. Healthy, lusty sex is wonderful. ~ John Wayne
A Woman Is quotes by John Wayne
I've always thought the back is one of the most beautiful parts of a woman. I've created four versions of the front-to-back necklace which actually gives you two necklaces in one. I love the way they swing and catch the light as a woman is walking away. You almost want to pull on it and stop her! ~ Padma Lakshmi
A Woman Is quotes by Padma Lakshmi
A woman is entitled to her secrets. She should be able to hide them away for as long as she wants, without people constantly prying, trying to take a peek inside her head. But secrets are exhausting and that's the plain truth of the thing. The effort of keeping them locked away, shielding them from view......I'm only human, after all. I look away from him, though, because it is the only way I can do this. ~ Sheena Kamal
A Woman Is quotes by Sheena Kamal
The more intelligent and competent a woman is in her adult life, the less likely she is to have received an adequate amount of romantic attention in adolescence. ~ Susan Jacoby
A Woman Is quotes by Susan Jacoby
Every day in the life of a woman is a walking Miss America Contest. ~ Wendy Bantam
A Woman Is quotes by Wendy Bantam
I believe that when a woman is given the chance to come to the defense of another woman, that is an opportunity that she should take in behalf of not only that woman; but in behalf of herself and all other women, everywhere. Men don't have low opinions of women because women are sluts and whores; but men have low opinions of women because they see how women compete with one another, pull one another down in order to rise above and backbite one another endlessly. There are men who have low opinions of women because of how women treat other women. They see that and they think, "What kind of a species can do that to their own species?" So if you really want the guy, why not get him by showing him what a true friend you are to your girlfriends? Or by showing him how happy you are for the good fortune of another woman and how much you admire her? And if he doesn't appreciate that then he doesn't deserve you! I know we've got a long, long way to go before we change the way our gender treats one another; but it's got to start somewhere and I suggest we start right now. ~ C. JoyBell C.
A Woman Is quotes by C. JoyBell C.
I asked you to come because I need your help." ...
"Those last may be the most difficult four words I've ever uttered in my life," he said. "I thought I would choke saying them."
"I thought I'd faint, hearing them," she said. "In my experience, men would rather have a limb amputated than admit they need help. And to seek it from a woman is completely unheard of."
He smiled. "The pain is nearly unbearable. ~ Loretta Chase
A Woman Is quotes by Loretta Chase
It is shameful that there are so few women in science ... In China there are many, many women in physics. There is a misconception in America that women scientists are all dowdy spinsters. This is the fault of men. In Chinese society, a woman is valued for what she is, and men encourage her to accomplishments yet she remains eternally feminine. ~ Chien-Shiung Wu
A Woman Is quotes by Chien-Shiung Wu
A man is very revealed by his wife, just as a woman is revealed by her husband. People never marry beneath or above themselves, I assure you. ~ Carol Grace
A Woman Is quotes by Carol Grace
A woman is a sometime thing. ~ DuBose Heyward
A Woman Is quotes by DuBose Heyward
What a man wants is a mate and what a woman wants is infinite security,' and, 'What a man is is an arrow into the future and a what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from. ~ Sylvia Plath
A Woman Is quotes by Sylvia Plath
Generally, a mood will run its course in an inteligent man; if a woman doesn't puncture it prematurely, the man will puncture it himself. He will regain his senses somewhere along the way; he will say, "Now wait, we had better think about this." That is, if his wife hasn't said five minutes before, "Now, dear, don't you think we had better think about this?" Because then he won't, of course.

If a woman is needling, it is doubly hard for a man to come out of a mood. That intensifies it. A man is really in a kind of travail when he is in a mood. He needs help, not needling, but feminine help. He probably won't thank you for it, but inside he will be awfully grateful.

When a woman has to deal with a man in a mood, she generally does the wrong thing. She generally gets her animus out, that nasty thing, and says, "Now, look, this is utter nonsense, stop it. We don't need any more fishline leader."

That is just throwing gasoline on the fire. There will be an anima-animus exchange, and all will be lost. The two are in the right hand and in the left hand of the goddess Maya, and you might as well give up for the afternoon.

There is, however, a point of genius that a woman can bring forth if she is capable of it and willing to do it. If she will become more feminine than the mood attacking the man , she can dispel it for him. But this is a very, very difficult thing for a woman to do. Her automatic response is to let out the sword of the an ~ Robert A. Johnson
A Woman Is quotes by Robert A. Johnson
He kept grinning. "Told the guys. They're pretty happy about the new shit that's coming." "Of course they are," I returned. "It's a sixty inch TV. A woman is happy with six inches. For a man to get happy, it has to be sixty." He burst out laughing. "Do I speak truth?" I asked. His brows shot up. "You'd be happy with six inches?" "I was happy with less than that for sixteen years so I guess the answer is yes." He kept laughing but started doing it so hard the bed shook. ~ Kristen Ashley
A Woman Is quotes by Kristen Ashley
After all, it's not every day a woman is given a kingdom of dreams. ~ Judith McNaught
A Woman Is quotes by Judith McNaught
It's just that when a woman is kidnapped and forced into agreeing to marriage, she hopes for a bit more... excitement. Than this."
He rolled slowly- maddeningly- to face her, the air between them thickened, and Penelope was instantly aware of their position, scant inches apart, on a warm pallet in a small room in an empty house, beneath the same blanket- which happened to be his greatcoat. And she realized that perhaps she should not have implied that the evening was unexciting.
Because she was not at all certain that she was prepared for it to become any more exciting. "I didn't mean-" She rushed to correct herself.
"Oh, I think you did an excellent job of meaning." The words were low and dark, and suddenly she was not so very sure that she wasn't afraid after all. "I am not stimulating enough for you?"
"Not you..." she was quick to reply. "The whole..." She waved one hand, lifting the greatcoat as she thought better of finishing. "Never mind."
His gaze was on her, intent and unmoving and, while he had not moved, it seemed as though he had grown larger, more looming. As though he had sucked a great deal of air from the room. "How can I make this night more satisfying for you, my lady?"
The soft question sent a thrum of feeling through her... the way the word- satisfying- rolled languid from his tongue set her heart racing and her stomach turning.
It seemed the night was becoming very exciting very quickly.
And everything was moving muc ~ Sarah MacLean
A Woman Is quotes by Sarah MacLean
Listening to a woman is almost as bad as losing to one. There are only three things that women are better at than men: cleaning, cooking, and having sex. ~ Charles Barkley
A Woman Is quotes by Charles Barkley
To be a woman is not a weakness. ~ Gloria D. Gonsalves
A Woman Is quotes by Gloria D. Gonsalves
A woman is not less a human. There is no piece of literature or institution that can prove otherwise. It does not matter, the skin color, the economic status, or country of origin, a woman is a human. ~ Topsy Gift
A Woman Is quotes by Topsy Gift
A woman is at her greatest peril in the presence of a beautiful man. ~ Jed Rubenfeld
A Woman Is quotes by Jed Rubenfeld
Perhaps Louisa didn't need to detail what Marmee is so angry about nearly every day of her life. To be a woman is to know anger. To be underestimated, treated as inferior, have one's concerns classified as minor, to do all the work and receive none of the glory--how could one not feel angry? And yet in order to be a good woman who stands a chance at being loved and accepted, back then and still very much so now, one has to learn, as Marmee advises Jo, not to show it, even better not to feel it. Anger in a woman runs the risk of being pathologized, penalized, criminalized. A woman is supposed to bear the violence of patriarchy--both the bloody and the bloodless forms--with unflappable cheeriness (p.66) ~ Jenny Zhang
A Woman Is quotes by Jenny Zhang
I feel bad for using the world old as synonymous with bad. Where did I learn that to look old as a woman is bad? Maybe I learned it, like, everywhere. ~ Melissa Broder
A Woman Is quotes by Melissa Broder
A weak male's natural reaction when he senses that a woman is insecure is to become insecure as well (and to act on that weak emotion); he will start to hesitate, ask her if she is alright, stop smiling, and so on, and that reveals just how little confidence he has, making the situation even worse. When this happens, you have to go all in, not fold. It is your only chance to recover, and recover you must. ~ W. Anton
A Woman Is quotes by W. Anton
When a woman is interested in you, she'll let you know; if not, there's no aftershave, gift, or line you can spin to make her change her mind. ~ David Mitchell
A Woman Is quotes by David Mitchell
Simplicity," I said, "is true elegance. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed. Her clothing should be seen only after she herself is. ~ C.W. Gortner
A Woman Is quotes by C.W. Gortner
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time, ~ Stella McCartney
A Woman Is quotes by Stella McCartney
It's risky to take anything on good faith where a woman is concerned. ~ August Strindberg
A Woman Is quotes by August Strindberg
A majority of the successful women on the pop scene conform to what a woman is supposed to be. Some have tried to get things moving. They have tried to modify the image. But sometimes the image has a hard time changing the eye - to change the relationship between the image and the eye takes longer. ~ Orlan
A Woman Is quotes by Orlan
Refinement is just as much a Christian grace in a man as in a woman; but he is not such a hateful, unsexed creature without it as a woman is. ~ Charlotte Mary Yonge
A Woman Is quotes by Charlotte Mary Yonge
I realize that homosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is - but then, of course, heterosexuality is a serious problem for anyone who is, too. And being a man is a serious problem and being a woman is, too. Lots of things are problems. ~ Edward Gorey
A Woman Is quotes by Edward Gorey
Even if a woman is abused a very long time ago, it comes out in her life in a negative way. ~ Catherine Deneuve
A Woman Is quotes by Catherine Deneuve
You've got to appeal to the pride in people. When a woman is flabby and soft, she's unattractive. When you married a beautiful girl and all of a sudden you start seeing her tits down and her breath stinks and she's not clean anymore and has no pride in herself, you can't love her. You may bullshit yourself, but you can't. Energy makes people beautiful. That's what charisma is. ~ Jack LaLanne
A Woman Is quotes by Jack LaLanne
A woman is always buying something. ~ Ovid
A Woman Is quotes by Ovid
A woman is faithful to her first lover for a long time - unless she happens to take a second. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
A Woman Is quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Forgive me, Your Grace. Are you suggesting a woman is some sort of ... piece of fruit to you? One squeeze, and you know if she's ripe? ~ Tessa Dare
A Woman Is quotes by Tessa Dare
The best convent for a woman is the seclusion of her own home. There she may find her vocation and fight her battles, and there she may learn the reality and the earnestness of life. ~ Elizabeth Prentiss
A Woman Is quotes by Elizabeth Prentiss
Waiting. Not waiting. One lover. A hundred lovers. There should be no judgement either way. A woman is not defined by what she does or doesn't do in the bedroom. ~ Tricia Levenseller
A Woman Is quotes by Tricia Levenseller
No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not. ~ Oscar Wilde
A Woman Is quotes by Oscar Wilde
Your coat's a little shabby - but who cares? It doesn't keep people from asking you to dine. If I were shabby no one would have me: a woman is asked out as much for her clothes as for herself. The clothes are the background, the frame, if you like: they don't make success, but they are a part of it. Who wants a dingy woman? We are expected to be pretty and well-dressed till we drop - and if we can't keep it up alone, we have to go into partnership. ~ Edith Wharton
A Woman Is quotes by Edith Wharton
If a woman is dishonest, that kills it for me. I can't even talk to her anymore. ~ Norman Reedus
A Woman Is quotes by Norman Reedus
A woman is who she is, not what she looks like. ~ Charlie Cole
A Woman Is quotes by Charlie Cole
Its time we woke up," pursued Gerald, still inwardly urged to unfamiliar speech. "Women are pretty much people, seems to me. I know they dress like fools - but who's to blame for that? We invent all those idiotic hats of theirs, and design their crazy fashions, and what's more, if a woman is courageous enough to wear common-sense clothes - and shoes - which of us wants to dance with her? ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A Woman Is quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
We tend to mix genders when we arrange ourselves around a table for meetings. A sort of accommodation is made by the men for the women: they make space for us. they are ever-so-slightly polite, we are ever-so-slightly grateful. When we stand up at the end of a meeting, we all give ourselves a metaphorical shake that is only partly the relief of having concluded our business: we are all released from the effort of fitting ourselves together.
When men speak in these meetings, women relax; when women speak, men grow tense. I have the impression that they never know what a woman is going to say, whereas they are reasonably sure what a man will address himself to and how he will do it. So are the women; for them, too, men tend to be predictable. Women listen to women with a different kind of attention, and part of it may be loyalty to our gender; we want all of us to do well, as if we have the esprit de corps of subalterns among generals. ~ Anne Truitt
A Woman Is quotes by Anne Truitt
The heart and life of a woman is much more vast than that. All women are made in the image of God in that we bring forth life. When we offer our tender and strong feminine hearts to the world and to those we love, we cannot help but mother them. ~ Stasi Eldredge
A Woman Is quotes by Stasi Eldredge
The problem with cosmetics exists only when women feel invisible or inadequate without them. The problem with working out exists only if women hate ourselves when we don't. When a woman is forced to adorn herself to buy a hearing, when she needs her grooming in order to protect her identity, when she goes hungry in order to keep her job, when she must attract a lover so that she can take care of her children, that is exactly what makes "beauty" hurt. Because what hurts women about the beauty myth is not adornment, or expressed sexuality, or time spent grooming, or the desire to attract a lover. Many mammals groom, and every culture uses adornment. "Natural" and "unnatural" are not the terms in question. The actual struggle is between pain and pleasure, freedom and compulsion. ~ Naomi Wolf
A Woman Is quotes by Naomi Wolf
If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl; and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work; a woman made out of a man is His meanest. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
A Woman Is quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. ~ Audrey Hepburn
A Woman Is quotes by Audrey Hepburn
A woman is truly beautiful only when she is naked and she knows it. ~ Andre Courreges
A Woman Is quotes by Andre Courreges
The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams. ~ Elizabeth Fishel
A Woman Is quotes by Elizabeth Fishel
A man's love for a woman is not mercenary because he wants to marry her, nor his love for poetry mercenary because he wants to read it, nor his love of exercise less disinterested because he wants to run and leap and walk. ~ C.S. Lewis
A Woman Is quotes by C.S. Lewis
A woman is like the colour of the rainbow, very colourful and so beautiful. ~ Gift Gugu Mona
A Woman Is quotes by Gift Gugu Mona
You want to know what a woman is thinking, ask a woman. Simple! ~ Nishta Kochar
A Woman Is quotes by Nishta Kochar
As soon as a woman is old enough to have an opinion and have a voice and be unafraid, she's very much encouraged by all sorts of people to crawl under a rock and die. And it's so weird. My crime is not dying. ~ Sarah Silverman
A Woman Is quotes by Sarah Silverman
Somewhere in your nursery rhymes," Cranleigh said, intruding yet again, "you must have learned that men do talk. They compare. They
judge. They even, Lady Amelia, are known to make coarse jests."
"Darling Cranleigh," Sophia said from behind her. "How generous of you to instruct Lady Amelia, who is surely the most innocent woman of my acquaintance, in the habits of the man about Town. Certainly, if a woman is to find her way to the altar, with the appropriate man at her side, she does need keen instruction. Naturally, her brother, the Marquis of Hawksworth, is not the man for the job, as no brother ever is for a sister. But you, you have risen up to help Lady Amelia. I don't know the last time I've seen such gallantry in action. ~ Claudia Dain

The first thing men notice about a woman is her eyes. Then, when her eyes aren't looking, they notice her breasts. ~ Conan O'Brien
