And when a strong man is sweet, even Goddesses look down from Mount Olympus.
Anne Rice
Image
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter
Image
Men are always doomed to be duped, not so much by the arts of the other as by their own imagination. They are always wooing goddesses, and marrying mere mortals.
Washington Irving
Image
Everyone would tell me they couldn't identify with sexual abuse. No one says they can't identify with the tales of the Greek gods and goddesses because they don't live on Mt. Olympus.
Alexander Chee
Image
For me, all mother in the world are my goddesses.
Yoseob
Image
I use the words gods and goddesses principally, I think, to mean beautiful bodies - bodies that are absolute instruments. And I believe in discipline, I believe in a very definite technique.
Martha Graham
Image
These are the beautiful people, who, befitting their rank as gods and goddesses of a powerful modern mythology, lead beautiful lives in beautiful houses, attired in beautiful clothes and, ostensibly, thinking only beautiful thoughts.
Helen Lawrenson
Image
Beer is a gift from the goddesses, a soothing balm given our species to bring joy and comfort in compensation for the curse of self-awareness, the awful realization of our mortality
Alan D. Eames
Image
Become goddesses of disobedience.
Naomi Wolf
Image
I believe human sexuality is one of the most ridiculous aspects of being a human, and here I was, facing publications whose prevailing editorial slant sought to portray our basic rutting instincts as something ennobling and empowering, to depict women who were fundamentally whores and predominantly unstable as sex workers and god
Jim Goad
Image
Until we stop clinging to the concept of good and evil, the world will continue to manifest as friendly goddesses and harmful demons.
Pema Chodron
Image
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Oscar Wilde
Image
All gods are one God, and all goddesses are one Goddess, and there is one Initiator.
Dion Fortune
Image
That child whose mother has never smiled upon him is worthy neither of the table of the gods nor the couch of the goddesses.
Anatole France
Image
Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.
Daisy Donovan
Image
I do not believe that there are any such things as gods and goddesses, for exactly the same reasons as I do not believe there are fairies, goblins or sprites, and these reasons should be obvious to anyone over the age of ten.
A.C. Grayling
Image
I was always fascinated by fairy stories, fantasy, you know, demons, necromancers, gods and goddesses, everything that is out of our kin and out of our everyday world. I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am.
Christopher Lee
Image
For me, there are two kinds of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
Image
...it seemed to me I was living in an insane asylum of my own making. I wnt about with all these fantastic figures: centaurs, nymphs, satyrs, gods and goddesses, as though they were patients and I was analyzing them. I read a Greek or Negro myth as if a lunatic were telling me his anamnesis.
Carl Jung
Image
She was beautiful in combat. I know that’s a crazy thing to say, especially after we’d just climbed a sewage waterfall, but her gray eyes sparkled when she was fighting for her life. Her face shone like a goddess’s, and believe me, I’ve seen goddesses. The way her Camp Half-Blood beads rested against her throat—Okay, sorry. Got a little distracted.
Rick Riordan
Image
I have never seen either angels or goddesses, so I am not interested in painting them.
Gustave Courbet
Image
The moral ambivalence of the great mother goddesses has been conveniently forgotten by those American feminists who have resurrected them. We cannot grasp nature's bare blade without shedding our own blood.
Camille Paglia
Image
The three major mother gods of the Eastern populations seemed to be generating and destroying entities at the same time both goddesses of life and fertility as well as goddesses of death.
Sigmund Freud
Image
I am allergic to domestic goddesses. Men would prefer a woman with a dirty mind to a clean house.
