Famous quotes containing the words theories of and/or theories:

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be.

    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
