To seduce a woman famous for strict morals, religious fervor and the happiness of her marriage: what could possibly be more prestigious?
Christopher Hampton
A gentleman doesn't pounce he glides. If a woman sits on a piece of furniture which permits your sitting beside her, you are free to regard this as an invitation, though not an unequivocal one.
Quentin Crisp
A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.
Henri B. Stendhal
They say that a man is not a real one until he hears his name from the lips of a woman... It could be.
ANTONIO MACHADO
Men were only made into "men" with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally "a man" any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
Wyndham Lewis
No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.
Phillips Brooks
A woman's strength is the irresistible might of weakness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It has been said in praise of some men, that they could take whole hours together upon anything; but it must be owned to the honor of the other sex that there are many among them who can talk whole hours together upon nothing. I have known a woman branch out into a long extempore dissertation on the edging of a petticoat, and chide her servant for breaking a china cup, in all the figures of rhetoric.
Joseph Addison
The most precious possession that ever comes To a man in this world Is a woman's heart
Josiah G. Holland
A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover - but will sooner or later find a tyrant
Lord Byron
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance.
Oscar Wilde
Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance
Oscar Wilde
Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.
Unknown
A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.
Enid Bagnold
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
Oscar Wilde
