Frivolous

Famous quotes containing the word frivolous:

    It’s only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    ... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?
    Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)

    Woman has been systematically educated to spend her conversational ability upon the most frivolous topics. This has the effect to belittle her range of thought so that she can comprehend only superficialities.
    Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
