Women Quotes
We show wisdom by a decent conformity to social etiquette; it is excess of neatness or display that creates dandyism in men, and coquetry in women.
Robert Adam




Women are happier in their illusions than in their most agreeable experi-ences.
Adelaide Billet Dufresnoy




There can be no doubt that our Nation has had a long and unfortunate history of sex discrimination. Traditionally, such discrimination was rationalized by an attitude of "romantic paternalism" which, in practical effect, put women, not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

By far the most common craving of pregnant women is not to be pregnant




Pregnancy demonstrates the deterministic character of womanís sexuality. Every pregnant woman has body and self taken over by a chthonian force beyond her control. In the welcome pregnancy, this is a happy sacrifice. But in the unwanted one, initated by rape or misadventure, it is a horror. Such unfortunate women look directly into natureís heart of darkness. For a fetus is a benign tumor, a vampire who steals in order to live. The so-called miracle of birth is nature getting her own way




Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.
Ruth Morgan

Norma McCorvey

Learned Hand

All love is probationary, a fact which frightens women and exhilarates men.




Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.




I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.




Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.
Lois Wyse




Most women are one man away from welfare.




If we are to have broad-thinking men and women of high mentality, of good physique and with a true perspective on life, we must allow our populace a communion with nature in areas of more or less wilderness condition.
Arthur Carhart†
