Famous quotes containing the words women and/or world:

    upon these maxims meditate:
    All women dote upon an idle man
    Although their children need a rich estate;
    No man has ever lived that had enough
    Of children’s gratitude or woman’s love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    As desire recedes, the world becomes clear, pale, and empty.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
