More quotes by Clare Boothe Luce
There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.
Clare Boothe Luce
Greta Garbo: A deer in the body of a woman, living resentfully in the Hollywood zoo.
Clare Boothe Luce
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
[On Vice-President Henry A. Wallace:] Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still globaloney.
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
There are no hopeless situations there are only men who have grown hopeless about them.
Clare Boothe Luce

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
If you ever manage to make a fool of me, I'll deserve what I get.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
Clare Boothe Luce
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
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.
Clare Boothe Luce
Women can't have an honest exchange in front of men without having it called a cat fight.
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
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside inside is more often his nursery.
Clare Boothe Luce
Guns know no policy except destruction.
Clare Boothe Luce
Autobiography is mostly alibiography.
