Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “children frowned
    At something dull; fathers had never known

    Success so huge and wholly farcical;
    The women shared
    The secret like a happy funeral;”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    “If we women were particular about men’s characters, we should never get married at all.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “It is certainly not new or startling to find that women feel the desire to take care of their children. What is new is the number of women who are startled by such feelings.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
