Woman Quotes

If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband’s family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick... But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn’t she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye? Picture Quote #1

To face a man in combat is challenge enough. To find the goddess in a woman is the life work of a man. Hard though the first may be, the second is the harder longer road. But every man seeks the woman of the dream, and only the best of men finds what he seeks Picture Quote #1

True lovers may never know what love means. A man may love a woman out of his reach. She does not know he loves her, and he will never speak of it Picture Quote #1

There is not much talking now. A silence falls upon them all. This is no time to talk of hedges and fields, or the beauties of any country. Sadness and fear and hate, how they well up in the heart and mind, whenever one opens pages of these messengers of doom. Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy. He knows only the fear of his heart Picture Quote #1

The woman was silent, her eyes on the floor. Shimamura had come to a point where he knew he was only parading his masculine shamelessness, and yet it seemed likely enough that the woman was familiar with the failing and need not be shocked by it. He looked at her. Perhaps it was the rich lashes of the downcast eyes that made her face seem warm and sensuous. She shook her head very slightly, and again a faint blush spread over her face Picture Quote #1

Every poem is an infant labored into birth and I am drenched with sweating effort, tired from the pain and hurt of being a man, in the poem I transform myself into a woman Picture Quote #1

All men have parties and are pals who never let each other down. A pal can say terrible things which are forgotten the next day. A pal never forgives, he just forgets, and a woman forgives but never forgets. That’s how it is. That’s why women aren’t allowed to have parties. Being forgiven is very unpleasant Picture Quote #1

There are two things every woman really wants: one, she wants to know that a man really loves her, and two, that he isn’t going to stop Picture Quote #1

I’ve known you for years. Everyone says you were beautiful when you were young, but I want to tell you I think you’re more beautiful now than then. Rather than your face as a young woman, I prefer your face as it is now. Ravaged Picture Quote #1

Long before I became a feminist in any explicit way, I had turned from writing love stories about women in which women were losers, and adventure stories about men in which the men were winners, to writing adventure stories about a woman in which the woman won. It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life Picture Quote #1

Won’t you celebrate with me what I have shaped into a kind of life? I had no model. born in babylon both nonwhite and woman what did I see to be except myself? I made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand; come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed Picture Quote #1

You know what I think? I think that if a young woman doesn’t engage in the act of occasionally wishing on a star or a flower or a birthday cake full of candles, then we’re forfeiting one of the sweetest whimsies of our youth Picture Quote #1

I can see that you’re in love, but only in a very narrow sense. It’s the love of someone that finds charms and qualities in a woman that she doesn’t actually have, who puts her in a class apart with every one else in second place, and who stays attached to her even while he’s abusing her Picture Quote #1

The woman was sane; she accepted the heavy penalties of reality and enjoyed its gifts also Picture Quote #1

Men are jealous of every woman, even when they don’t have the slightest interest in her themselves Picture Quote #1

There can be neither beauty, nor trust, nor security between a man and a woman if there is not truth Picture Quote #1

Her touch was as knowing and confident as her eyes, and as she focused all her attention upon me, I remembered that there is nothing so thrilling as a woman of words when she decides that the time for words is past Picture Quote #1

Akkarin: I watched the first woman I loved die. I don’t think I can survive losing the second. Sonea: I love you too Picture Quote #1

Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper Picture Quote #1

Not that she’s a political animal, she’s just an ordinary woman, but as a woman she’s of the view that you don’t bring children into the world to have them shot Picture Quote #1

It’s a good thing I’m a reasonably patient woman. Otherwise, I might have to kill you Picture Quote #1

If you can’t laugh together in bed, the chances are you are incompatible, anyway. I’d rather hear a girl laugh well than try to turn me on with long, silent, soulful, secret looks. If you can laugh with a woman, everything else falls into place Picture Quote #1

The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls Picture Quote #1

One man sees a riselka: his life forks there.?Two men see a riselka: one of them shall die.?Three men see a riselka: one is blessed, one forks, one shall die. One woman sees a riselka: her path comes clear to her.?Two women see a riselka: one of them shall bear a child.?Three women see a riselka: one is blessed, one is clear, one shall bear a child Picture Quote #1

A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. A strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. A strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. Strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail Picture Quote #1

... he will go to his grave feeling cheated, never realizing that there isn’t much difference between one woman and the other, that it is the loving that creates the difference Picture Quote #1

When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again Picture Quote #1

There is nothing so inspiring to a woman as seeing love in a man’s eyes when he looks at her Picture Quote #1

Never believe a man can change a woman those men are pretenders who think that they created women from one of their ribs Picture Quote #1

The things that don’t happen to us that we’ll never know didn’t happen to us. The nonstories. The extra minute to find the briefcase that makes you late to the spot where a tractor trailer mauled another car instead of yours. The woman you didn’t meet because she couldn’t get a taxi to the party you had to leave early from. All of life is a series of nonstories if you look at it that way. We just don’t know what they are Picture Quote #1
