Woman Quotes
-
“Perhaps love was like the mumps. If a woman came down with it after forty, it could kill her”
Nevada Barr
-
The sacred rowan is a woman born long, long ago, a woman whose refusal to see love cost first her lover's life, then the lives of her family, her clan, her people.
But not her own life. Not quite.
In pity and punishment she was turned into an undying tree, a rowan that weeps only in the presence of transcendent love; and the tears of the rowan are blossoms that confer extraordinary grace upon those who can see them.
When enough tears are wept, the rowan will be free. She waits inside a sacred ring that can be neither weighed or measured nor touched. She waits for love that is worth her tears.
The rowan is waiting still.
Elizabeth Lowell

A brave man's hand can speak for itself, it does not even need a woman's love to hear its music.
Bram Stoker
-
A woman who loves books has a dreamer's soul, with each story she has read woven into her own.
Alyson Richman
-
Every woman in this world is allowed to define themselves how they want.
Whitney Wolfe Herd
-
I know
Not these my hands
And yet I think there was
A woman like me once had hands
Like these.
Adelaide Crapsey

That is the injustice of a woman's lot. A woman has to bring up her children; and that means to restrain them, to deny them things they want, to set them tasks, to punish them when they do wrong, to do all the unpleasant things. And then the father, who has nothing to do but pet them and spoil them, comes in when all her work is done and steals their affection from her.
George Bernard Shaw
-
When a woman says nothing's wrong, that means everything's wrong. And when a woman says everything's wrong, that means everything's wrong! And when a woman says something's not funny, you'd better not laugh your ass off!
Homer
-
No man has ever lived that had enough of children's gratitude or woman's love.
William Butler Yeats

I haven't had anything said to my face. ... I don't know what goes on behind closed doors. I did understand it was out there. That's one of the reasons I like my partnership with Secret and calling the NFL: It's a chance to break through some barriers by showing what you can do, as opposed to telling people what you can do. That's the approach I prefer to take: Let me prove to you that a woman is capable of doing this. Then, hopefully, you won't have to ask that question ever again.
