The leader of the deed was a woman. -Dux femina facti
Virgil
Image
I can usually tell when a woman is going through a divorce because they look so gaunt and tired and sad. It's just a huge sadness. It's horrible. It's like death. You mourn, but the person's still there.
Andie MacDowell
Image
The windiest militant trash Important Persons shout Is not so crude as our wish: What mad Nijinsky wrote About Diaghilev Is true of the normal heart For the error bred in the bone Of each woman and each man Craves what it cannot have Not universal love But to be loved alone.
W. H. Auden
Image
I am not insane, he said. A woman of your highly advanced intellect ought to be able to perceive that I am in love. With you. I wish you had told me. It was deuced embarrassing to find it out from your *brother*.
Loretta Chase
Image
A woman without breasts is like a bed without pillows.
Anatole France
Image
Given that we glimpse what distinguishes man from the beast, is there anything that distinguishes woman from man?
W. L. George
Image
Men have been found to deny woman intellect they have credited her with instinct, with intuition, with a capacity to correlate cause and effect much as a dog connects its collar with a walk.
W. L. George
Image
A good woman is a hidden treasure who discovers her will do well not to boast about it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
I've an irritating chuckle, I've a celebrated sneer, I've an entertaining snigger, I've a fascinating leer To everybody's prejudice I know a thing or two I can tell a woman's age in half a minute--and I do
W. S. Gilbert
Image
A tree is like a saint. It calls no one to itself, nor does it send anyone away. It offers to protect everyone who wants to come to it, whether this be a man, a woman, a child, or an animal.
Anandamayi Ma
Image
I prefer a loose woman to a selfish one and a wanton to a fool.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
One can be very much in love with a woman without wishing to spend the rest of one's life with her.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
They say a woman always remembers her first lover with affection but perhaps she does not always remember him.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated
Anais Nin
Image
I had a feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from a man's and for which man's language was so inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented. The language of the senses was yet to be explored.
Anais Nin
Image
There is no cruelty greater than a woman's to a man who loves her and whom she does not love she has no kindness then, no tolerance even, she has only an insane irritation.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin
Image
The love of only one man or one woman is an enclosure.
Anais Nin
Image
Then at certain moments I remember one of his words and I suddenly feel the sensual woman flaring up, as if violently caressed. I say the word to myself, with joy. It is at such a moment that my true body lives.
Anais Nin
Image
If a person continues to see only giants, it means he is still seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I have a feeling that man's fear of woman comes from having first seen her as the mother, creator of men.
Anais Nin
Image
It takes two to make a love affair and a mans meat is too often a woman's poison.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
When a man's in love, he at once makes a pedestal of the Ten Commandments and stands on the top of them with his arms akimbo. When a woman's in love she doesn't care two straws for Thou Shalt and Thou Shalt Not.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
I know now what he was trying to do, but Atticus was only a man. It takes a woman to do that kind of work.
Harper Lee
Image
No woman is worth more than a fiver unless you're in love with her. Then she's worth all she costs you.
W. Somerset Maugham
