What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.
SYLVIA PLATH
The Bell Jar
It's the silliest lie a sensible man like you ever believed, to say a woman makes a house comfortable. It's a story got up, because the women are there, and something must be found for 'em to do. I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha' been left to the men.... I tell you, a woman 'ull bake you a pie every week of her life, and never come to see that the hotter th' oven the shorter the time.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
I don't see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one woman to love him dearly.

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.

Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.
JOHN BERGER

Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?

A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
attributed, Woman's Day, August 2011
Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.
