Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “I traveld thro’ a Land of Men
    A Land of Men & Women too,
    And heard & saw such dreadful things
    As cold Earth wanderers never knew.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers’ hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When women kiss it always reminds one of prize-fighters shaking hands.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
