Quotations regarding 'Woman'

Choose a letter: 
Ever since Eve started it all by offering Adam the apple, woman's punishment has been to supply a man with food then suffer the consequences when it disagrees with him.
Helen Rowland, American Writer
Some people think having large breasts makes a woman stupid. Actually, it's quite the opposite: a woman having large breasts makes men stupid.
Rita Rudner, American Comedian (1955-  )
My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands and two of them were just napping.
Rita Rudner, American Comedian (1955-  )
Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.
Rosalind Russell, American Actress (1908-1976)
The report of this made me exceedingly angry, for I could not see why information which a middle-class woman could get from her doctor should be withheld from a poorer woman who might need it far more.
Dora Russell, English Celebrity (1894-1986)
God created the first man, whom he called Adam. Then God created a woman, whom ho named Eve; and this man and woman were given the power from Jehovah God to reproduce their kind, that is to say, to cause conception and birth of children.
Joseph Franklin Rutherford, American Clergyman (1869-1942)
People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them.
Winona Ryder, American Actress (1971-  )
Woman's destiny is to be wanton, like the bitch, the she-wolf; she must belong to all who claim her.
Marquis de Sade, French Novelist (1740-1814)
I've already told you: the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.
Marquis de Sade, French Novelist (1740-1814)
Who knows who will be on board? A couple of spies, for sure. At least one grand duke; a few beautiful woman, no doubt very rich and very troubled. Anything can happen and usually does on the Orient Express.
Morley Safer, Canadian Journalist (1931-  )
A really plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm.
Edgar Saltus, American Writer (1855-1921)
Shame is the feeling you have when you agree with the woman who loves you that you are the man she thinks you are.
Carl Sandburg, American Poet (1878-1967)
Ordering a man to write a poem is like commanding a pregnant woman to give birth to a red-headed child.
Carl Sandburg, American Poet (1878-1967)
I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
Carl Sandburg, American Poet (1878-1967)
The submission of her body without love or desire is degrading to the woman's finer sensibility, all the marriage certificates on earth to the contrary notwithstanding.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
Against the State, against the Church, against the silence of the medical profession, against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past, the woman of today arises.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
A mutual and satisfied sexual act is of great benefit to the average woman, the magnetism of it is health giving. When it is not desired on the part of the woman and she gives no response, it should not take place.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
Woman must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.
Margaret Sanger, American Activist (1879-1966)
