I'm very obsessed with 'The Real Housewives' franchise. It's a bad obsession. ~ Vanessa Marano
Housewife quotes by Vanessa Marano
Too often a sister puts all her patients back to bed as a housewife puts all her plates back in the plate-rack-to make a generally tidy appearance. ~ Richard Asher
Housewife quotes by Richard Asher
It was hidden inside another book. One Valentine was unlikely to ever open." Magnus smiled crookedly. "Simple Recipes for Housewives. No one can say your mother didn't have a sense of humor. ~ Cassandra Clare
Housewife quotes by Cassandra Clare
"Repeat that?"
"It's National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Didn't you know?"
"Somehow I missed the memo."
"You mean, 'Somehow I missed the memo, arrr!'"
"Precisely. Arr. So, Mrs. Jack ... Er, is that still your name? Or, I tremble to ask, have you adopted a pirate identity?"
"Arr, matey, of course I have! It's ... " She pulled an eggplant from the grocery bag. "Captain Eggplantier." She needed to stop speaking the first words that popped into her mind.
"Captain Eggplanteir." He sounded very doubtful.
"That's right. A family name. It's Belgian. ~ Shannon Hale
Housewife quotes by Shannon Hale
Women who 'adjust' as housewives, who grow up wanting to be 'just a housewife,' are in as much danger as the millions who walked to their own death in the concentration camps ... they ate suffering a slow death of mind and spirit. ~ Betty Friedan
Housewife quotes by Betty Friedan
She seemed like a keeper. Housewife material, verses your usual whorehouse type. ~ J.M. Darhower
Housewife quotes by J.M. Darhower
The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public ignominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Housewife quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Each day, the American housewife turns toward television as toward a lover. She feels guilty about it, and well she might, for he's covered with warts and is only after her money. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Housewife quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
I'm not a housewife in any way. ~ Courteney Cox
Housewife quotes by Courteney Cox
Being a housewife is an illegitimate profession ... The choice to serve and be protected and plan towards being a family-maker is a choice that shouldn't be. The heart of radical feminism is to change that ~ Vivian Gornick
Housewife quotes by Vivian Gornick
The old man sold beer after hours on weekends. And that was something that he probably did to top up his earnings as a truck driver. Mum was the traditional housewife. Loving, caring, sharing - always the keynotes of the family. ~ Lindsay Fox
Housewife quotes by Lindsay Fox
From sublime affairs of state to the stark and vulgar popular culture of our own contemporary lives, let's make this descent into the lower registers together and recognize the good, nasty fun of 'Gone Girl,' Chicago writer Gillian Flynn's novel about the mysterious disappearance of a clever and deceptive young Midwestern housewife. ~ Alan Cheuse
Housewife quotes by Alan Cheuse
Daily I walk around my small, picturesque town with a thought bubble over my head: Person Going Through A Divorce. When I look at other people, I automatically form thought bubbles over their heads. Happy Couple With Stroller. Innocent Teenage Girl With Her Whole Life Ahead Of Her. Content Grandmother And Grandfather Visiting Town Where Their Grandchildren Live With Intact Parents. Secure Housewife With Big Diamond. Undamaged Group Of Young Men On Skateboards. Good Man With Baby In BabyBjörn Who Loves His Wife. Dogs Who Never Have To Worry. Young Kids Kissing Publicly. Then every so often I see one like me, one of the shambling gaunt women without makeup, looking older than she is: Divorcing Woman Wondering How The Fuck This Happened. ~ Suzanne Finnamore
Housewife quotes by Suzanne Finnamore
I hated labels anyway. People didn't fit in slots
prostitute, housewife, saint
like sorting the mail. We were so mutable, fluid with fear and desire, ideals and angles, changeable as water. ~ Janet Fitch
Housewife quotes by Janet Fitch
If a man is a writer, everybody tiptoes around past the locked door of the breadwinner. But if you're an ordinary female housewife, people say, 'This is just something Barbara wanted to do; it's not professional.' ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Housewife quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
Of course, to be a mother and a housewife is a vocation of a very high kind. But I simply felt that it was not the whole of my vocation. I knew that I also wanted a career. A phrase that Irene Ward, MP for Tynemouth, and I often used was that 'while the home must always be the centre of one's life, it should not be the boundary of one's ambitions'. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Housewife quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I had never thought I had much in common with anybody. I had no mother, no father, no roots, no biological similarities called sisters and brothers. And for a future I didn't want a split-level home with a station wagon, pastel refrigerator, and a houseful of blonde children evenly spaced through the years. I didn't want to walk into the pages of McCall's magazine and become the model housewife. I didn't even want a husband or any man for that matter. I wanted to go my own way. That's all I think I ever wanted, to go my own way and maybe find some love here and there. Love, but not the now and forever kind with chains around your vagina and a short circuit in your brain. I'd rather be alone. ~ Rita Mae Brown
Housewife quotes by Rita Mae Brown
Here's the deal. Willi's bought the rights to a paperback best-seller called The White Slaver. It's a piece of formulized shit written for illiterate fourteen-year-olds and the kind of lobotomized housewife that lines up to buy the new Harlequin romances each month. Jack-off material for intellectual quadriplegics. Naturally ~ Dan Simmons
Housewife quotes by Dan Simmons
General Electric backed the Carousel of Progress, which featured an Audio-Animatronic housewife, standing in her futuristic kitchen, singing about a great big beautiful tomorrow. ~ Eric Schlosser
Housewife quotes by Eric Schlosser
Some women marry houses. ~ Anne Sexton
Housewife quotes by Anne Sexton
I have too much imagination to be a housewife ~ Marilyn Monroe
Housewife quotes by Marilyn Monroe
I haven't fully moved over to the iPad. At any given time, I have about four DVDs in my pocket. I'm constantly screening 'Top Chef,' 'Housewives,' and all the other shows we have in development, racing to meet a deadline. So I pretty much bring my laptop everywhere. ~ Andy Cohen
Housewife quotes by Andy Cohen
My mother was a housewife. My father was a garment worker. ~ Alan Sugar
Housewife quotes by Alan Sugar
I never want my kids to feel like I'm just some housewife who was just kicking it with my husband, because that's not the kind of woman that I am. ~ Tamar Braxton
Housewife quotes by Tamar Braxton
According to my parents, I was supposed to have been a nice, churchgoing Swiss housewife. Instead I ended up an opinionated psychiatrist, author and lecturer in the American Southwest, who communicates with spirits from a world that I believe is far more loving and glorious than our own. ~ Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Housewife quotes by Elisabeth Kubler Ross
I tell ya! The road to success is an endless battle for you and me. ~ Steven Jackson
Housewife quotes by Steven Jackson
The children themselves, before they get access to a car, are captives of their suburb, save for those families where the housewives surrender continuity in their own lives to chauffeur their children to lessons, doctors, and other services that could be reached via public transport in the city. ~ David Riesman
Housewife quotes by David Riesman
I was born Pauline Matthews and grew up in Bradford as one of three children - I had an older brother, David, and an older sister, Betty. My father Fred worked in the mills as a textile weaving supervisor, and my mother, Mary, was a housewife. ~ Kiki Dee
Housewife quotes by Kiki Dee
I do not refer to myself as a 'housewife' for the reason that I did not marry a house. ~ Wilma Scott Heide
Housewife quotes by Wilma Scott Heide
It would be hard. After all, I'm working. I'm a mother. Number one, I'm a mother & housewife, so there's the house kind of chores. In the evenings, I might attend some meeting, & then late at night, I would be either writing to the brothers & sisters in prison or working on the leaflets of their cases. Then on the weekend, at least every other weekend, we'd visit the political prisoners...I mean everybody has their whole life & things they have to do at home. But I'll tell you, we were busy during this time. Every week, more brothers & sisters would be arrested. We were working on scores of cases at the same time--trying to keep up with visiting, writing, attending court hearings. If I could show you all the leaflets we made, you'd get an idea of how expansive the work was. ~ Diane C. Fujino
Housewife quotes by Diane C. Fujino
Maybe it's just not the right time for us to be married. I don't want to be a bounty hunter for the rest of my life, but I certainly don't want to be a housewife right now. And I really don't want to be married to someone who gives me ultimatums.
And maybe Joe needs to examine what he wants from a wife. He was raised in a traditional Italian household with a stay-at-home mother and domineering father. If he wants a wife who will fit into that mold, I'm not for him. I might be a stay-at-home mother someday, but I'll always be trying to fly off the garage roof. That's just who I am. ~ Janet Evanovich
Housewife quotes by Janet Evanovich
I am not prepared to accept the economics of a housewife. ~ Jacques Chirac
Housewife quotes by Jacques Chirac
When exactly did every housewife in America become a whore? ~ Chuck Klosterman
Housewife quotes by Chuck Klosterman
I'm the youngest of six children; both of my sisters are housewives and they each have four kids. ~ Roma Downey
Housewife quotes by Roma Downey
If women's role in life is limited solely to housewife/mother, it clearly ends when she can no longer bear more children and the children she has borne leave home. ~ Betty Friedan
Housewife quotes by Betty Friedan
Suddenly, I realised that I had chosen this...I wanted him...I realised how much I truly wanted to please him in every way that I could...And for the first time, I realised that I wanted to be Dane's 'housewife' while he was my provider and protector.
In that kitchen on that morning was the last time that I ever doubted the role that I was to play...
"Homecoming ~ Keegan Kennedy
Housewife quotes by Keegan Kennedy
Indeed the worthy housewife was of such a capricious nature, that she not only attained a higher pitch of genius than Macbeth, in respect of her ability to be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, loyal and neutral in an instant, but would sometimes ring the changes backwards and forwards on all possible moods and flights in one short quarter of an hour; performing, as it were, a kind of triple bob major on the peal of instruments in the female belfry, with a skilfulness and rapidity of execution that astonished all who heard her. ~ Charles Dickens
Housewife quotes by Charles Dickens
Name?" the desk clerk said to me politely, her pencil poised.
"Name," I said vaguely. I remembered, and told her.
"Age?" she asked. "Sex? Occupation?"
"Writer," I said.
"Housewife," she said.
"Writer," I said.
"I'll just put down housewife," she said. ~ Shirley Jackson
Housewife quotes by Shirley Jackson
Every new generation of women, it seems, feminist and housewife alike, is encouraged by popular culture to disavow its forebears and rebrand itself as an all-new, never-before-seen generational phenomenon, completely different in every way from what came before. The 'housewives' of the 1970s gave way to the Martha Stewart 'homemakers' of the 1980s, then the 'soccer moms' of the 1990s, then the stay-at-home moms of the 2000s. Next may come the homeschooling homesteaders of the impending post-apocalypse - who knows? What's significant is that the cycle of idealization, devaluation, and revision gives an appearance of progress, of superficial change, that distracts us from the big picture. ~ Carina Chocano
Housewife quotes by Carina Chocano
We broke through the feminine mystique and women who were wives, mothers and housewives began to find themselves as people. That didn't mean they stopped, or had to stop, being mothers, wives or even liking their homes. ~ Betty Friedan
Housewife quotes by Betty Friedan
I'm really a very fifties housewife. ~ Eva Longoria
Housewife quotes by Eva Longoria
I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.' ~ Taylor Swift
Housewife quotes by Taylor Swift
You have to have competent people evaluating the athlete, not the housewives! ~ Bela Karolyi
Housewife quotes by Bela Karolyi
Nicotine addicted, persecuted, her day is a maddening circle of tea and biscuits, baking, smoking, the necessary fiction of the housewife. ~ James Claffey
Housewife quotes by James Claffey
The truth was, she was afraid that when she fell hard for a boy, she'd lose herself along the way. She'd seen it happen to lots of girls. They'd go from drinking gin, driving fast cars, and boldly shimmying in speakeasies to these passive creatures who couldn't make a move without asking their beaus if it would be okay. Evie had no intention of fading behind any man. She didn't want to slide into ordinary and wake up to find that she'd become a housewife in Ohio with a bitter face and an embalmed spirit. Besides, things you loved deeply could be lost in a second, and then there was no filling the hole left inside you. So she lived in the moment, as if her life were one long party that never had to stop as long as she kept the good times going.
But right now, in this moment, she felt a strong connection to Sam, as if they were the only two people in the world. She wanted to hold on to both him and the beautiful moment and not let go. ~ Libba Bray
Housewife quotes by Libba Bray
I love being a mother; I hate being a housewife - the cooking, the laundry - because it takes away time I could be with my kids. ~ Marcia Gay Harden
Housewife quotes by Marcia Gay Harden
She was always on her feet. Cooking. Washing. Ironing. ~ Niccolo Ammaniti
Housewife quotes by Niccolo Ammaniti
My grandma has never been impressed with the TV show [Desperate Housewives]. She was so angry because I was on television kissing a boy naked; she's very traditional. She said: "If I ever see you kissing that boy again ... ". ~ Eva Longoria
Housewife quotes by Eva Longoria
In Swat, there are two jobs a woman's going to do: a teacher or a doctor. If not, then become a housewife. ~ Malala Yousafzai
Housewife quotes by Malala Yousafzai
There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy. ~ Kat Graham
Housewife quotes by Kat Graham
"You make cheese yourself," she repeated reverently. "You are a real housewife." It has taken me decades to get here, but I took that as a compliment. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Housewife quotes by Barbara Kingsolver
I was born in a middle class Muslim family, in a small town called Myonenningh in a northern part of Bangladesh in 1962. My father is a qualified physician; my mother is a housewife. I have two elder brothers and one younger sister. All of them received a liberal education in schools and colleges. ~ Taslima Nasrin
Housewife quotes by Taslima Nasrin
Kos had different tastes. He was on the lookout for that Midwestern housewife attending a conference with her husband. There was usually at least one in the hotel bar. She was always seated in a corner drinking a cocktail and pretending to read a novel while her husband was off doing manly things. Kos knew something Mason didn't - stewardesses partied in every port, but housewives were still waiting for the party. ~ Amber Belldene
Housewife quotes by Amber Belldene
Because you can't turn a hoe into a housewife. ~ Carrie Huggins
Housewife quotes by Carrie Huggins
I was born five days before D-Day in 1944. My father was a mechanical engineer, which was a reserved occupation, so he didn't have to enlist. My mother was a housewife. She worked in a bank before marrying my father. ~ Robert Powell
Housewife quotes by Robert Powell
Even the worst days have an ending, and the best days have a beginning. ~ Jennifer Coletta
Housewife quotes by Jennifer Coletta
I am home because I am a writer, but sometimes, when I'm not productive (productivity: the expectations of capitalism), I feel like a terrible housewife, or a sick person. ~ Kate Zambreno
Housewife quotes by Kate Zambreno
I never do anything fun, because I'm a housewife. I hate that word 'housewife.' I prefer to be called 'domestic goddess.' ~ Roseanne Barr
Housewife quotes by Roseanne Barr
There's ups and downs of any job. If you worked at the post office, there's ups and downs. You have your good days, and you have your bad days. If you're a housewife, you have your good days, and you have your bad days. ~ Tracy Morgan
Housewife quotes by Tracy Morgan
My mother was a housewife. Both from - well, my father was from a farming family, agricultural family in the north of England. And my mother came from a very working class. ~ David Bowie
Housewife quotes by David Bowie
Although the cooking of food presents some unsolved problems, the quick warming of cooked food and the thawing of frozen food both open up some attractive uses ... There is no important reason why the the housewife of the future should not purchase completely frozen meals at the grocery store just as she buys quick frozen vegetables. With a quick heating, high-frequency unit in her kitchen, food preparation from a pre-cooked, frozen meal becomes a simple matter. ~ Chauncey Guy Suits
Housewife quotes by Chauncey Guy Suits
The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in, she becomes the center of attention. ~ Eva Gabor
Housewife quotes by Eva Gabor
What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form. ~ David Ogilvy
Housewife quotes by David Ogilvy
Well, at least she doesn't have to be a housewife the rest of her life," she said. "What in the hell do you have against housewives?" I said. "I was raised by one," Savannah said. "And it almost ruined my life." "I got knocked around by a shrimper when I was a kid," said Luke, "but I never blamed the shrimp. ~ Pat Conroy
Housewife quotes by Pat Conroy
American women were frustrated in just the role of housewife - but they also managed to enlarge it. And they weren't just housewives, they were community leaders. ~ Betty Friedan
Housewife quotes by Betty Friedan
All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything. ~ Diana Vreeland
Housewife quotes by Diana Vreeland
We always knew how to honor fallen soldiers. They were killed for our sake, they went out on our mission. But how are we to mourn a random man killed in a terrorist attack while sitting in a cafe? How do you mourn a housewife who got on a bus and never returned? ~ A. B. Yehoshua
Housewife quotes by A. B. Yehoshua
It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage. ~ Doris Day
Housewife quotes by Doris Day
My father was a chemist on the Yale faculty, my mother a housewife. ~ George Akerlof
Housewife quotes by George Akerlof
I'm an FFH: a Formerly Fat Housewife. ~ Jean Nidetch
Housewife quotes by Jean Nidetch
One is only really inwardly comfortable, so to speak, after one's life has assumed some sort of shape. Not just a routine, like studying or a job or being a housewife, but something more complete than all those, which would include goals set by oneself and a circle of life-time type friends. I think this is one of the hardest things to achieve, in fact often just trying doesn't achieve it but rather it seems to develop almost by accident. ~ Jessica Mitford
Housewife quotes by Jessica Mitford
But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room. ~ Miep Gies
Housewife quotes by Miep Gies
My mother was an extremely creative woman, despite the fact that she lived the life of a rural housewife. ~ Pedro Almodovar
Housewife quotes by Pedro Almodovar
It is precisely because I valued myself that I was unwilling to remain miserable in a school and whole social environment that did not fit my needs. It is because the housewife had regard for herself that she refused to tolerate any longer a marriage that so totally limited her freedom and repressed her personality. It is because the businessman cared for himself that he was no longer willing to nearly kill himself in order to meet the expectations of his mother. ~ M. Scott Peck
Housewife quotes by M. Scott Peck
What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were "anti-family." ... It was motherhood that got me into the movementin the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women's movement that put self-esteem back into "just a housewife," rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of "instinct" and making it human, deliberate, powerful. ~ Mary Blakely
Housewife quotes by Mary Blakely
She wanted a choice beyond: Housewife versus lawyer. Madonna versus whore. An option not mired in the lingering detritus of some Victorian-era dream. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Housewife quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
I'll make a horrible housewife. It's not like I'm disgusting, but I'm pretty bad about having a drink or eating something and then leaving the plate and rushing to go. ~ Camilla Luddington
Housewife quotes by Camilla Luddington
I'm going to be a happy housewife. I'm going to be washing boxers and cooking and doing all those sorts of housewife duties. I just want to be happy and proud of every single day. ~ Johnny Weir
Housewife quotes by Johnny Weir
I could write pages and pages about the delights of being a full-time housewife and mother and trying to write and support a family with two babies - but I don't use that kind of language in public. ~ Marion Zimmer Bradley
Housewife quotes by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The guitar is just a wonderful instrument. It's everything: a bartender, a psychiatrist, a housewife. It's everything, but it's elusive ~ Les Paul
Housewife quotes by Les Paul
The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesn't go out of her apartment because she's afraid she's going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer. ~ Shirley Maclaine
Housewife quotes by Shirley Maclaine
I did not care if Ella went to Princeton, if she was exceptionally pretty, if she grew up to marry a rich man, or really if she married at all - there were many incarnations of her I felt confident I could embrace, a hippie or a housewife or a career woman. But what I did care about, what I wanted most fervently, was for her to understand that hard work paid off, that decency begat decency, that humility was not a raincoat you occasionally pulled on when you thought conditions called for it, but rather a constant way of existing in the world, knowing that good luck and bad luck touched everyone and none of us was fully responsible for our fortunes or tragedies. Above all, I wanted my daughter to understand that many people were guided by bitterness and that it was best to avoid these individuals - their moods and behavior were a hornet's nest you had no possible reason to do anything other than bypass and ignore. ~ Curtis Sittenfeld
Housewife quotes by Curtis Sittenfeld
Tom Cohen.
Man.
God.
Object of my sexual fantasies.
Totally out of my league.
He was world famous and wanted by every queer and housewife. ~ V. Theia
Housewife quotes by V. Theia
Good God," I said. "This is the most stereotypical vampire food ever."
"Only if it was raw. What do you think?"
"It's good," I said reluctantly. Who knew that bacon would have made all the difference? "Really good. I think you have a promising future as a housewife while Lissa works and makes millions of dollars."
"Funny, that's exactly my dream. ~ Richelle Mead
Housewife quotes by Richelle Mead
My mother was largely a housewife until she and my father were divorced. No one in the family read for pleasure - it was a very unintellectual household - but my mother did read to us when we were little, and that's how I started to read. ~ Andrea Barrett
Housewife quotes by Andrea Barrett
With increasing skill, the ads glorify her "role" as an American housewife-knowing that her very lack of identity in that role will make her fall for whatever they are selling. ~ Betty Friedan
Housewife quotes by Betty Friedan
I am obsessed with trash TV. I watch all reality shows. I watch all the 'Housewives.' I am a huge fan of 'New Jersey.' ~ NeNe Leakes
Housewife quotes by NeNe Leakes
What moved me, in the first instance, to attempt a work like this, was the discomfort and suffering which I had seen brought upon men and women by household mismanagement. I have always thought that there is no more fruitful source of family discontent than a housewife's badly-cooked dinners and untidy ways. ~ Isabella Beeton
Housewife quotes by Isabella Beeton
The original necessity for the ceaseless presence of the woman to maintain that altar fire - and it was an altar fire in very truth at one period - has passed with the means of prompt ignition; the matchbox has freed the housewife from that incessant service, but the feeling that women should stay at home is with us yet. ~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Housewife quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I am a ginger tim. I am a boy racer. I am a housewife. I am a pain in the arse. ~ Joan Ellis
Housewife quotes by Joan Ellis
If you are a housewife, take pride in that. ~ Anthea Turner
Housewife quotes by Anthea Turner
Jamie Oliver's lunch is soup, half a papaya with lime, ciabatta with mozzarella and prosciutto. The dear boy is not sharing the same planet as the rest of us. Is this lunacy supposed to be a practical suggestion for a harassed housewife trying to drag her children off to school? ~ Terry Wogan
Housewife quotes by Terry Wogan
It's fascinating. Did you know that Moanin' Lisa failed Home Ec last year? It proves the point, bro. You can't turn a hoe into a housewife. ~ J.M. Darhower
Housewife quotes by J.M. Darhower
Mrs. O'Dowd, the good housewife, arrayed in curl papers and a camisole, felt that her duty was to act, and not to sleep, at this juncture. "Time enough for that," she said, "when Mick's gone"; and so she packed his travelling valise ready for the march, brushed his cloak, his cap, and other warlike habiliments, set them out in order for him; and stowed away in the cloak pockets a light package of portable refreshments, and a wicker-covered flask or pocket-pistol, containing near a pint of a remarkably sound Cognac brandy, of which she and the Major approved very much; ... Mrs. O'Dowd woke up her Major, and had as comfortable a cup of coffee prepared for him as any made that morning in Brussels. And who is there will deny that this worthy lady's preparations betokened affection as much as the fits of tears and hysterics by which more sensitive females exhibited their love, and that their partaking of this coffee, which they drank together while the bugles were sounding the turn-out and the drums beating in the various quarters of the town, was not more useful and to the purpose than the outpouring of any mere sentiment could be? The consequence was, that the Major appeared on parade quite trim, fresh, and alert, his well-shaved rosy countenance, as he sate on horseback, giving cheerfulness and confidence to the whole corps. All the officers saluted her when the regiment marched by the balcony on which this brave woman stood, and waved them a cheer as they passed; and I daresay ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Housewife quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Nothing a housewife does is of value in capitalist terms because it does not take place on the market and therefore does not contribute to the Gross National Product. ~ Hilda Scott
Housewife quotes by Hilda Scott
The new female is competent in all that she chooses. She chooses whatever her heart tells her. She can create a business, lead a country, drive a truck, hammer nails, deliver mail, or raise a family. She is at home in every social and physical environment. She can be a housewife, if she chooses. She can be anything else, too. She is intuitive and heart centered. She is all that a female has been, and more. ~ Gary Zukav
Housewife quotes by Gary Zukav
When Pat Schroeder, a Harvard Law graduate, ran for office in 1972, the headlines read "Housewife" or "Mother" runs for Congress. When facing one indignant male colleague after another who demanded how she could be both a member of Congress and a mother, she said, "Because I have a brain and a uterus and both work. ~ Myra MacPherson
Housewife quotes by Myra MacPherson
Men - ' said Miss Williams, and stopped.
As a rich property owner says 'Bolsheviks' - as an earnest Communist says 'Capitalists!' - as a good housewife says 'Blackbeetles' - so did Miss Williams say 'Men! ~ Agatha Christie
Housewife quotes by Agatha Christie
That atomic energy though harnessed by American scientists and army men for destructive purposes may be utilised by other scientists for humanitarian purposes is undoubtedly within the realm of possibility ... An incendiary uses fire for his destructive and nefarious purpose, a housewife makes daily use of it in preparing nourishing food for mankind. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Housewife quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In every conversation I've had - with housewives in Mumbai, with middle-class people, upper-class, in the slums - everyone says there is an underlying consciousness of karma. That people believe in karma - that what you're putting out is going to come back. If I do something to you, the energy of it is going to come back to me in the future. ~ Deepak Chopra
Housewife quotes by Deepak Chopra
