Famous quotes containing the word women:
“Sing lullaby, as women do,
Wherewith they bring their babies to rest;
And lullaby can I sing too,
As womanly as can the best.”
—George Gascoigne (1539–1577)
“There are some women ... in whom conscience is so strongly developed that it leaves little room for anything else. Love is scarcely felt before duty rushes to encase it, anger impossible because one must always be calm and see both sides, pity evaporates in expedients, even grief is felt as a sort of bruised sense of injury, a resentment that one should have grief forced upon one when one has always acted for the best.”
—Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
“To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it’s no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
