Clare Boothe Luce
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
I don't think my position unusual for a woman. I'm following a perfectly natural urge to do what I like.
Clare Boothe Luce
There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.
Clare Boothe Luce
the only time travelers are really gay is when they are traveling for no good reason at all.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
