WOMEN QUOTES III
quotations about women
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.
FRANK SINATRA
attributed, The Way You Wear Your Hat
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.

JOHN GRAY
Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
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

TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find; that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day.
IRVING BERLIN
