Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “It was easy to see how upsetting it would be if women began to love freely where love came to them. An abyss would open in the principal shopping street of every town.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “I fasted for some forty days on bread and buttermilk
    For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
    In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
    And what’s the good of women for all that they can say
    Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago.”
    —Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)
