There is a great sadness in knowing that men of genius are not able to transcend the limits of patriarchy. Had I but known that the works I so cherished had been done by human beings, not gods, and that great women, including feminists, had also once lived and worked, I suspect I might have been able to break free sooner from a whole host of fatally misguided notions. What we don't know can hurt us. ~ Phyllis Chesler
Great Women quotes by Phyllis Chesler
I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music. ~ Prince Royce
Great Women quotes by Prince Royce
Next time, ask: What's the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. ~ Audre Lorde
Great Women quotes by Audre Lorde
You will never see as many great women investors or traders as men. Period. End of story. ~ Paul Tudor Jones
Great Women quotes by Paul Tudor Jones
During the Renaissance, women were not allowed to attend art school. Everyone asks, where are the great women painters of the Renaissance? ~ Karen DeCrow
Great Women quotes by Karen DeCrow
I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great. ~ Foster Friess
Great Women quotes by Foster Friess
I grew up, in my childhood, with some of the greatest women performers, on stage and on screen, and even my family - my mother and my sisters. So I was very busy watching women, as a child! I have a lot of memories of great women performers ~ John Travolta
Great Women quotes by John Travolta
Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others. ~ Amelia Earhart
Great Women quotes by Amelia Earhart
One only has to read interviews with outstanding women to hear them apologizing ~ Monique Wittig
Great Women quotes by Monique Wittig
Behind every great woman is a great behind! ~ Rhonda Shear
Great Women quotes by Rhonda Shear
You cannot become great women if you are not also good women. Great women respond generously to their instincts to do good. ~ James E. Faust
Great Women quotes by James E. Faust
What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing ... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance ... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women. ~ Albert Brooks
Great Women quotes by Albert Brooks
I'm a huge fan of wrestling, and I would like to see the position of women in the sport continue to improve, so if I can be a part of it, great. ~ Ronda Rousey
Great Women quotes by Ronda Rousey
At college, I was told there were four great women novelists in the 19th century – Jane Austen, George Eliot, Charlotte and Emily Brontë. Not one of them led an enviable life – all of them had to sacrifice ludicrously in order to be writers. I wasn't prepared to do that.

You could become ill so that you could retreat to the bedroom, avoid your domestic responsibilities and write like Emily Dickinson and Christina Rossetti. You had to forget about writing if you weren't prepared to sacrifice any other things you might want from life, like kids or lovers. It's not like that now. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Great Women quotes by Jeanette Winterson
There were these great women in Montgomery, [Rosa Louise] Parks was among them. Jo Ann Robinson [who organized the bus boycott] was among them. It's always these ordinary women and men of grace who have been waiting and seething and planning to change things that are unjust that bring movement. ~ Marian Wright Edelman
Great Women quotes by Marian Wright Edelman
I always say it was great for God to send his only son, but I'm waiting for him to send his only daughter. Then things will really be great. ~ Candace Pert
Great Women quotes by Candace Pert
I went to Brazil in 2010 and pretty much did songs about that trip. I was there just to hang out, chill with the people, and feel the vibe. It was great - tons of great women, great skin, good beaches. Can't complain; the food is great. ~ Theophilus London
Great Women quotes by Theophilus London
Why are there no great women artists?' sounds as ignorant of human geography as the query 'Why are there no Eskimo tennis teams? ~ Francine Du Plessix Gray
Great Women quotes by Francine Du Plessix Gray
Really good comedic roles for women are far and between, with the exception of 'Bridesmaids,' where everyone said it broke down so many doors for women - and it did. I would like to do something like that. I think it would be really great! ~ Sara Paxton
Great Women quotes by Sara Paxton
There are certain things that I always dreamed of, like fighting in the UFC. There's just certain things that I feel like haven't been accomplished there. There's such great women coming up in the sport; seems like a wonderful time to be in women's MMA. ~ Gina Carano
Great Women quotes by Gina Carano
You are very kind and very intelligent and those elements are not always found together. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, and my mother - yes, you belong in that category. Here, give me a kiss. ~ Maya Angelou
Great Women quotes by Maya Angelou
Human history is full of great men, great women, individuals, with the will for power - all of them with governesses like her. ~ Daniel Nayeri
Great Women quotes by Daniel Nayeri
I am thrilled yet overwhelmed. There are so many great women athletes, some incredible performances. ~ Nancy Greene
Great Women quotes by Nancy Greene
There are so many untold stories when it comes to great women of color. ~ Kerry Washington
Great Women quotes by Kerry Washington
Great women aren't born great, they become great. ~ Sabrina Newby
Great Women quotes by Sabrina Newby
The element of heroic maleness had always been present in the concept of the artist as one who rides the winged horse above the clouds beyond the sight of lesser men, a concept seldom applied to those who worked with colours until the nineteenth century. When the inevitable question is asked, "Why are there no great women artists?" it is this dimension of art that is implied. The askers know little of art, but they know the seven wonders of the painting world. ~ Germaine Greer
Great Women quotes by Germaine Greer
These are the highlights in a lifetime of following sports. Hilarity. The most sheer fun I ever had in sports was playing volleyball, a game I commend highly ... if you have ever seen the great women s teams of Japan and Russia or the equally good men's teams of Cuba and East Germany, you know how exciting this playground game, which requires so little equipment, can be. ~ James A. Michener
Great Women quotes by James A. Michener
She still cared for me, and the best way I could make amends to her was to be happy.
I do have a knack for finding great women. ~ Craig Ferguson
Great Women quotes by Craig Ferguson
Perhaps great men are content with marrying a woman who is not their equal, but we great women ... Our equals are rare enough in the first place, and then most of those we do find have married twits. ~ Brent Weeks
Great Women quotes by Brent Weeks
Asked for a testimony to the effect that Emmy Noether was a great woman mathematician, he said: I can testify that she is a great mathematician, but that she is a woman, I cannot swear. ~ Edmund Landau
Great Women quotes by Edmund Landau
I like to look like a person. It drives me crazy when you see women in movies playing teachers, and they have biceps. It totally takes me out of the movie. I start thinking, Wow, that actress playing this part really looks great! ~ Emma Stone
Great Women quotes by Emma Stone
The truth is that all great men have had great mothers. Great women have had, as a rule, great fathers. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Great Women quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Kitty found herself in a moment of peril, and like all great women, she let the moment of crisis infuse her with strength she hadn't known she possessed. ~ Julie Berry
Great Women quotes by Julie Berry
There's some great women doing TV. I would love to do a Grey's Anatomy-type show. I'm a big fan. ~ Elizabeth Berkley
Great Women quotes by Elizabeth Berkley
The Bible is the great treasure for the curious sinner, fresh water for thirsty painting soul, the revealed truth for the true seeker or worship per,the unrevealed truth for the wrong seekers, a guide to the blind and eternal food for the hungry soul. ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Great Women quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Women do not lie about their age. In fact, no woman ever has, its just that memory is the first thing to go. ~ David C. Holley
Great Women quotes by David C. Holley
It occurred to me that no matter where I lived, geography could not save me. ~ Isabel Wilkerson
Great Women quotes by Isabel Wilkerson
They have rejected that power and sought to convince women of the exact opposite, that they are powerless. ~ Frederick Lenz
Great Women quotes by Frederick Lenz
Through the haze, bulbous shapes drifted to and fro about the town. Silka guessed they were the dirigibles of which her father had sometimes spoken
great elongated bags of gas ribbed and hung with gondolas, powered by grinding engines, gouting steam, and sparks as they cruised like airborne pigs, filled with passengers and cargoes. ~ Allan Frewin Jones
Great Women quotes by Allan Frewin Jones
If the Poe Lock were ever rendered unusable due to a terrorist attack or natural disaster, it would halt commerce on the Great Lakes and these industries would be helpless. ~ Bart Stupak
Great Women quotes by Bart Stupak
Heidi's role as grand master was to monitor all the women and to manage their locations and communication. Even though she'd done this many times on multiple missions, her heartbeat still pounded in her ears. ~ Kirsten Fullmer
Great Women quotes by Kirsten Fullmer
The middle class, one of the great achievements in history, is becoming more of a relic than a reality. ~ Jon Meacham
Great Women quotes by Jon Meacham
Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Great Women quotes by Woodrow Wilson
By the middle of the afternoon it had rained so much that the drains were overflowing, clogged up with leaves and newspapers.
The water built up until it was sliding across the road in great sheets, rippled by the wind and parted like a football crowd by passing cars.
I was shocked by the sheer volume of water that came pouring out of the darkness of the sky.
Watching the weight of it crashing into the ground made me feel like a very young child, unable to understand what was really happening.
Like trying to understand radio waves, or imagining computers communicating along glass cables.
I leant my face against the window as the rain piled upon it, streaming down in waves, blurring my vision, making the shops opposite waver and disappear.
There was a time when I might have found this exhilarating, even miraculous, but not that day.
That day it made me nervous and tense, unable to concentrate on anything while the noise of it clattered against the windows and the roof.
I kept opening the door to look for clear skies, and slamming it shut again.
And then around teatime, from nowhere, I smashed all the dirty plates and mugs into the washing-up bowl.
Something swept through me, swept out of and over me, something unstoppable, like water surging from a broken tap and flooding across the kitchen floor.
I don't quite understand why I felt that way, why I reacted like that.
I wanted to be saying it's just somethi ~ Jon McGregor
Great Women quotes by Jon McGregor
Maybe blow-up dolls invaded Ireland during the Dark Ages, landing in the bay here. They raped the men and pillaged the women, adopted the children to imprint their rubbery ways on them, turning them into blow-up orphans. Hence,' she concludes, 'Dollymount Strand. ~ Jonathan Dunne
Great Women quotes by Jonathan Dunne
Women have their own braveries, their own mighty courageousness that is of woman, and not to be compared with the courage shown by man. ~ Richard Llewellyn
Great Women quotes by Richard Llewellyn
'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' is one of the most famous books of all Japanese literature, written by the great poet Basho in 1689. ~ Richard Flanagan
Great Women quotes by Richard Flanagan
When you work hard and you treat people great, regardless of what it is that you're doing, naturally people want to help and do things. ~ Kevin Hart
Great Women quotes by Kevin Hart
Cooking is not difficult. Everyone has taste, even if they don't realize it. Even if you're not a great chef, there's nothing to stop you understanding the difference between what tastes good and what doesn't. ~ Gerard Depardieu
Great Women quotes by Gerard Depardieu
I'm not sure many writers are trying to reconcile all the things that are separated in our culture - body and mind, urban and pastoral, lyricism and hardboiled, men and women, joy and grief. I tried to do quite a lot, but I wanted to create a serious work of literature. ~ Nicola Griffith
Great Women quotes by Nicola Griffith
You must be a great warrior when you contact first thoughts and write from them. ~ Natalie Goldberg
Great Women quotes by Natalie Goldberg
The famous University of Chicago Great Books program and the reorganization of the University structure along Aristotelian lines and the establishment of the "College," in which a reading of classics was initiated in fifteen-year-old students, were some of the results. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Great Women quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
You need more than just a great idea. Your product or service must add an enormous amount of value to some industry. If the idea isn't completely new, it has to be better, cheaper, or more efficient than what we already have. ~ Jose Ferreira
Great Women quotes by Jose Ferreira
The library is full of stories of supposed triumphs which makes me very suspicious of it. It's misleading for people to read about great successes, since even for middle-class and upper-class white people, in my experience, failure is the norm ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Great Women quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Unless men are active allies, we'll never end violence against women and girls. ~ Eve Ensler
Great Women quotes by Eve Ensler
How great seems human progress when we consider where it began, and how insignificant, when we contemplate the goals for which itstrives. ~ Franz Grillparzer
Great Women quotes by Franz Grillparzer
Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. I always loved music, and would not, for a great matter, be without the little skill which I possess in the art. ~ Martin Luther
Great Women quotes by Martin Luther
Become what you would want to marry ,as in, become like the person that you would want to marry. ~ Lisa Bedrick
Great Women quotes by Lisa Bedrick
Thus in a single phrase I can define the great illusion concerning 'love' in this world. It is the effort to join reality with the apparition. ~ Yukio Mishima
Great Women quotes by Yukio Mishima
A lot of men these days are insecure in front of women, because women have become so strong. Men are very frustrated because they don't know what women want. ~ Pernille Fischer Christensen
Great Women quotes by Pernille Fischer Christensen
Ads which ran 30-50 years ago, even a hundred years ago, are often better than those you see today. You'll get great ideas to use in your marketing. ~ Ted Nicholas
Great Women quotes by Ted Nicholas
It was easier to be the victim, but it didn't feel so great. ~ Jennifer Castle
Great Women quotes by Jennifer Castle
What, may I ask, does your one truck contain if not gowns?"
Inspiration struck, and Elizabeth smiled radiantly. "Something of great value. Priceless value," she confided.
All faces at the table watched her with alert fascination-particularly the greedy Sir Francis. "Well, don't keep us in suspense, love. What's in it?"
"The mortal remains of Saint Jacob."
Lady Eloise and Lady Mortand screamed in unison, Sir William choked on his wine, and Sir Francis gaped at her in horror, but Elizabeth wasn't quite finished. She saved the coup de grace until the meal was over. As soon as everyone arose she insisted they sit back down so a proper prayer of gratitude could be said. Raising her hands heavenward, Elizabeth turned a simple grace into a stinging tirade against the sins of lust and promiscuity that rose to crescendo as she called down the vengeance of doomsday on all transgressors and culminated in a terrifyingly lurid description of the terrors that awaited all who strayed down the path of lechery-terrors that combined dragon lore with mythology, a smattering of religion, and a liberal dash of her own vivid imagination. When it was done Elizabeth dropped her eyes, praying in earnest that tonight would loose her from her predicament. There was no more she could do; she'd played out her hand with all her might; she'd given it her all.
It was enough. After supper Sir Francis escorted her to her chamber and, with a poor attempt at regret, announced that he gr ~ Judith McNaught
Great Women quotes by Judith McNaught
Great sales people [don't] have the ability to feel sorry for themselves. ~ Barbara Corcoran
Great Women quotes by Barbara Corcoran
Sisters. In society so superior to what she had generally known, her improvement was great. She was not of so ungovernable a temper as Lydia; ~ Jane Austen
Great Women quotes by Jane Austen
The number of fixed stars which observers have been able to see without artificial powers of sight up to this day can be counted. It is therefore decidedly a great feat to add to their number, and to set distinctly before the eyes other stars in myriads, which have never been seen before, and which surpass the old, previously known stars in number more than ten times. ~ Galileo Galilei
Great Women quotes by Galileo Galilei
When women set their hearts on anything it is a known fact that they seldom fail to accomplish it. ~Mrs. podgers' Teapot ~ Kelly O'Connor McNees
Great Women quotes by Kelly O'Connor McNees
I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work. I see them and I have this word in my head - respect. I also look to learn. I see these women and I think, 'Yes, it can be balanced, it can all work out.' ~ Beyonce Knowles
Great Women quotes by Beyonce Knowles
Women are always anxious to urge bachelors to matrimony; is it from charity, or revenge ?. ~ Louis Gustave Vapereau
Great Women quotes by Louis Gustave Vapereau
If you're lucky enough to work with great actors and creative people, they're always just going to be who they are, so I don't think there's a difference between the Brits and the Americans. ~ Josh Dallas
Great Women quotes by Josh Dallas
Women only strike men as being mysterious ~ Nicholas Sparks
Great Women quotes by Nicholas Sparks
You talk a lot about this amazing flow of time but you hardly see it. you see a women, you think that one day she'll be old, only you don't see her grow old. But there are moments when you think you see her grow old and feel yourself growing old with her: this is the feeling of adventure. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Great Women quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Why do you consult [women's] words when it is not their mouths that speak? Consult their eyes, their colour, their breathing, their timid manner, their slight resistance, that is the language nature gave them for your answer. The lips always say 'No,' and rightly so; but the tone is not always the same, and that cannot lie. Has not a woman the same needs as a man, but without the same right to make them known? Her fate would be too cruel if she had no language in which to express her legitimate desires except the words which she dare not utter. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Great Women quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Those unacquainted with the world take pleasure in intimacy with great men; those who are wiser fear the consequences. ~ Horace
Great Women quotes by Horace
No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes. ~ Frederick William Robertson
Great Women quotes by Frederick William Robertson
