More quotes by Clare Boothe Luce
No woman has ever so comforted the distressed or distressed the comfortable. on Eleanor Roosevelt.
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
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside inside is more often his nursery.
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
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
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes' They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.'

Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals.
Clare Boothe Luce
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. . . .

Clare Boothe Luce
The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with.
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
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.
Clare Boothe Luce
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
I was wondering today what the religion of the country is - and all I could come up with is sex.
Clare Boothe Luce
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
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
Women can't have an honest exchange in front of men without having it called a cat fight.
Clare Boothe Luce
A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
Clare Boothe Luce
In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed.
Clare Boothe Luce
Bombs know no ism but barbarism. The laws that successfully govern a peaceful and democratic society do not interfere with the only law bombs know, which is the law of gravity.
