I wish I were a virgin again. The only fun I ever had was holding out.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
Clare Boothe Luce
To put a woman on the ticket would challenge the loyalty of women everywhere to their sex, because it would be made to seem that the defeat of the ticket meant the defeat for a hundred years of women's chance to be truly equal with men in politics.
Clare Boothe Luce
They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.

I have never met a man [in the military], in or out of uniform, who ever said, Let's use the missiles. They are even more terrified that the Bishops, because a great many of them don't expect to go to Heaven, which at least the Bishops do.

Clare Boothe Luce
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside inside is more often his nursery.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce
I don't have any warm personal enemies. All the SOBs have died.
Clare Boothe Luce
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. . . . It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that-being what it is-it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
Clare Boothe Luce
Women do generally manage to love the guys they marry more than they manage to marry the guys they love.
Clare Boothe Luce
Rich women are not too put upon by their children. You don't have to do all the things for a child that those women who had to stay at home did. My Ann had a French governess who took care of her until she was twelve years old and went off to boarding school.
Clare Boothe Luce
You see few people here in America who really care very much about living a Christian life in a democratic world.
