Greatest Women

Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or women:

    The greatest thing of the world is for a man to know how to be his own.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world—a thing which you women call hard-heartedness. As a man, I can take refuge in having mistresses. The more of them I have, and the greater the scandal, the more I acquire reputation and brilliance in society.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
