You see few people here in America who really care very much about living a Christian life in a democratic world.
Clare Boothe Luce
all history shows that the hand that cradles the rock has ruled the world, not the hand that rocks the cradle!
Clare Boothe Luce
Thoughts have no sex.
Clare Boothe Luce
Time comes when every man's got to feel something new--when he's got to feel young again, just because he's growing old. Women are just the same. But when we get that way we change our hairdress. Or get a new cook.
Clare Boothe Luce
What generally passes for 'thought' among the majority of mankind is the time one takes out to rearrange one's prejudices.

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
H. L. Mencken told me once that he answered all his mail, pleasant and unpleasant, with just one line, 'You may be right.' That's the way I feel now. It is in the realm of possibility, just barely, that I could be the one who's wrong.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce

Autobiography is mostly alibiography.
Clare Boothe Luce
Women can't have an honest exchange in front of men without having it called a cat fight.
Clare Boothe Luce
Rome is the city above all cities which loses most of its meaning to those who do not bring to it some historical sense, a decent knowledge of art, and a good amount of time. Rome therefore is particularly disturbing to an American.
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.

[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
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.
