Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it.... Women know where it lives but they can let it alone.”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)

    “I have, by long experience, found women to be like Telephus’s spear: if one end kills, the other cures.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
    —Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
