Famous quotes containing the words women and/or world:
“The particular source of frustration of women observing their own self-study and measuring their worth as women by the distance they kept from men necessitated that a distance be kept, and so what vindicated them also poured fuel on the furnace of their rage. One delight presumed another dissatisfaction, but their hatefulness confessed to their own lack of power to please. They hated men because they needed husbands, and they loathed the men they chased away for going.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“It was not that she was out of temper, but that the world was not equal to the demands of her fine organism.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
