ASSORTED QUOTES ON WOMAN
- It takes a man a lifetime to find out about one particular woman; but if he puts in, say ten years, industrious and curious, he can acquire the general rudiments of the sex.
- For a man to pretend to understand women is bad manners; for him really to understand them is bad morals.
- Men dislike women who don't understand them, and women dislike men who do.
- Even when a man understands a woman, he can't believe it.
- Woman wishes to wish away the differences between the sexes. - but then, that is the nature of woman.
- Men commit actions; women commit gestures. - Phyllis Chesler
- Men and women are two different species, descended from different animals.
- Mankind, woman unkind.
- Women are adorable and men are admirable.
- Men work; women shop.
- A man has only one aim in life. A woman has three, all contradictory.
1
- Some men are different. All women are alike.
- In Men, we various Ruling Passions find; In Women, two almost divide the kind; Those, only fixed, they first or last obey, The Love of Pleasure, and the Love of Sway.
- Men are not troubled to hear a man dispraised, because they know, though he be naught, there's worth in others; but women are mightily troubled to hear any of them spoken against, as if the sex itself were guilty of some unworthiness.
- For story and experience tell us, That man grows old and women jealous; Both would their little ends secure: He sighs for freedom, she for power. His wishes tend abroad to roam. And hers, to domineer at home.
- There are two kinds of women: those who want power in the world, and those who want power in bed. - Jacqueline Onassis
- A woman who will not feign submission can never make a man happy.
- Women are neither equal nor different to men - they are inferior. Women rarely if ever organize themselves effectively because they are unable to think logically.
- The greatest problem with women is how to contrive that they should seem our equals.
- Woman's equality to man is not a claim . . . rather a concession.
- But, perhaps, someone will ask, whether women are under men's authority by nature or institution? For if it has been by mere institution, then we had no reason compelling us to exclude women from government. But if we consult experience itself, we shall find that the origin of it is in

their weakness. For there has never been a case of men and women reigning together, but wherever on the earth men are found, there we see that men rule, and women are ruled, and that on this plan, both sexes live in harmony. But on the other hand, the Amazons, who are reported to have held rule of old, did not suffer men to stop in their country, but reared only their female children, killing the males to whom they gave birth. But if by nature women were equal to men, and were equally distinguished by force of character and ability, in which human power and therefore human right chiefly consist; surely among nations so many and different some would be found, where both sexes rule alike, and others, where men are ruled by women, and so brought up, that they can make less use of their abilities. And since this is nowhere the case, one may assert with perfect propriety, that women have not by nature equal right with men: but that they necessarily give way to men, and that thus it cannot happen, that both sexes should rule alike, much less that men should be ruled by women.
- from Tractatus Politicus by Baruch Spinoza
- Men, some to business, some to pleasure take; But every woman is at heart a rake.
- Women never have young minds. They are born three thousand years old.
- Girls we love for what they are: Young men for what they promise to be.
- It is only rarely that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
- She is like a stone on the hilltop, difficult to be moved. Yet when she is once started she goeth fast and far; no man knoweth her end. She believeth that ALL men are vain and easy to be flattered. Her heart is older than her head; yea, her emotion is the mother of her reason. She desireth many things, and she is happy till she getteth them. TWO things she holdeth dear, mystery and mastery.
- A man gets what he wants by acting smart; a woman, by playing dumb.
- Why is it we never hear of a self-made woman?
3
- Woman submits to her fate; man makes his.
- Fathers compete with their sons, but mothers devour their daughters.
- Because she is conscious of her weakness she destroys what is weak. After coition she enchains man and treats him like a child; after procreation she enslaves her children and maintains them in a condition of absolute dependence.
- The main difference between men and women is that men are lunatics and women are idiots.
- God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him.
- There are two kinds of women: those who wish to marry, and those who haven't the slightest intention not to.
- To a single woman men are either dates, potential dates, or date substitutes.
- It is still the case that women believe a caress to be better than a career.
- The best couturiers, hairdressers, home designers and cooks are men. I suspect that were it biologically possible men would make better mothers.
- Ida Alexa Ross Wylie
- What they love to yield they would often rather have stolen. Rough seduction delights them; the boldness of near rape is a compliment.
- She whom a sudden assault has taken by storm is pleased, and counts the audacity as a compliment. But she who, when she might have been compelled, departs untouched, though her looks feign joy, will yet be sad.

- Some girls are like horses, very independent. They have never been controlled by anybody. But if you can break them in, they are very grateful, as all women are.
- Woman is the same as horses: two wills act in opposition inside her. With one will, she wants to subject herself utterly. With the other, she wants to bolt, and pitch her rider to perdition.
- In truth, women of today, like the Valkyries of old, want anything but to win their fight for independence: the harder they fight, the more desperately they yearn for a man to be strong enough - for their man to be strong enough to limit them and to keep them from venting their destructiveness.
- Love is the victim's response to the rapist. - An American Feminist.
- Any woman will marry any man that bothers her enough.
- A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.
- The difference between rape and seduction is salesmanship.
- Women sometimes forgive a man who presses an opportunity, but never a man who misses one.
- Sexual shyness in a man excites the desire of dissolute women, but arouses contempt in decent ones.
- There are women who offer their bodies as though they were bestowing some inestimable gift upon you.
- A woman never forgets her sex. She would rather talk with a man than an angel, any day.
5
- If men knew all that women think, they'd be twenty times more daring.
- The soul of a woman lives in love.
- Where love is absent there can be no woman.
- Love makes intelligent beings depressed and flat. Only women, ostriches and monkeys are made happy by love.
- Eeva-Lisa Manner
- Love makes the wisest man a fool, and the most foolish woman, a sage.
- By "woman" is meant sensuality itself, which is well signified by woman, since in woman this naturally prevails.
- I like them fluffy - I know it's bad taste With fluffy soft looks and a flower at the waist, With golden hair flying, like mist round the moon And lips that seem sighing, "You must kiss me soon," Not huffy, or stuffy, not tiny or tall, But fluffy, just fluffy, with no brains at all.
- I've got a girlfriend with ribbons in her hair. Now what could be better than that? - From "Stop making sense" by Talking Heads
- I for one venerate a petticoat. Lord Byron
- If God had not created woman, he would not have created flowers.
- What most men desire is a virgin who is a whore.
6
- O woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men; these are ever endowing you with beauty from their own hearts. . . . You are one-half woman and one-half dream.
- A man at his desk in a room with a closed door is a man at work. A woman at a desk in any room is available. - Betty Rollin
- There's only one way to get on for a woman, and that's to please men. That is what women think men are for.
- She gets her living by getting a husband. He gets his wife by getting a living.
- Women believe that all the money in the world would have no meaning without women.
- No woman ever found a rich man ugly.
- Little girls are won with dolls; big girls with dollars.
- Every man's lament: so many women . . . so little cash.
- Americans worship two gods - dollars and dames - and the dollars are for the dames. The statue of Liberty is a woman.
- Sexually, woman is nature's contrivance for perpetuating its highest achievement. Sexually, man is woman's contrivance for fulfilling nature's behest in the most economical way.
- Nature intended women to be our slaves; . . . they are our property, we are not theirs. They belong to us, just as a tree that bears fruit belongs to the gardener. What a mad idea to demand equality for women! . . . Women are nothing but machines for producing children. - Napoleon Bonaparte
