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
Women do generally manage to love the guys they marry more than they manage to marry the guys they love.
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
[On the Democratic Party:] Its leaders are always troubadors of trouble crooners of catastrophe ... A Democratic President is doomed to proceed to his goals like a squid, squirting darkness all about him.

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
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
the only time travelers are really gay is when they are traveling for no good reason at all.
Clare Boothe Luce
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.
Clare Boothe Luce
The oppressed never free themselves - they do not have the necessary strengths.

Greta Garbo: A deer in the body of a woman, living resentfully in the Hollywood zoo.
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.

Thoughts have no sex.
