Deception/motives

Famous quotes containing the words deception and/or motives:

    Perhaps there are only a few women who experience without deception the overwhelming intoxication of the senses which they expect from their encounters with men, which they feel bound to expect because of the fuss made about it in novels, written by men.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    Single mothers have as much to teach their children as married mothers and as much love to share—maybe more. Yet their motives are often labeled selfish and single-minded—never mind all the babies brought into the world to snag husbands, “save” faltering marriages or produce heirs.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
