Woman Quotes
-
To be born a Southern woman is to be made aware of your distinctiveness. And with it, the rules. The expectations. These vary some, but all follow the same basic template, which is, fundamentally, no matter what the circumstance, Southern women make the effort. Which is why even the girls in the trailer parks paint their nails. And why overstressed working moms still bake three dozen homemade cookies for the school fund-raiser. And why you will never see Reese Witherspoon wearing sweatpants. Or Oprah take a nap.

A woman mixed of such fine elements
That were all virtue and religion dead
She'd make them newly, being what she was.
George Eliot

If my son came to me years from now and told me, 'I'm gay,' I'd say, 'That's wonderful. I'm so glad you know who you are.' But if he said, 'I want to be a woman,' I would say, 'Ahhh. This is gonna be hard. Let's get started.' Because it doesn't matter that that's where happiness lies - it's on the other side of a lot of struggle.
Vivienne Ming
-
She had no beauty to commend her apart from the sweetness of her smile and the kindliness of her round brown eyes, but she carried with her wherever she went that aura of almost heavenly motherliness which so often shines about a woman who has borne only one child, and in losing it has become mother to all the world, shining more wonderfully than about the mother of a dozen.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
A woman, though she is a queen, is meant by God to be instructed by her husband. It is the bishop of Orange who says this, and she smiles and imagines cleaving him with a sword, right through his skull to his breastbone
Colin Falconer
-
Of all the plagues with which the world is curst, Of every ill, a woman is the worst.
George Granville, 1st Baron Lansdowne

Wonder Woman was my first love, and now she’s Charlotte Kemp Muhl my last.
Sean Lennon
-
The carved images on the early Minoan sealstones are tantalising, inscrutable. The Nature Goddess is yanked from the soil like a snake or a sheaf of barley; the Mistress of the Animals suckles goats and gazelles. There are male Adorants certainly - up on tiptoe, their outstretched arms hoisted in a kind of heil, their bodies arched suggestively, pelvis forward, before the Goddess - but there are no masculine deities, not a single one in sight. No woman worth her salt, one might think, could fail to be intrigued.
Alison Fell

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
