Single Women

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or women:

“With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespear when I measure my mind against his.... But I am bound to add that I pity the man who cannot enjoy Shakespear. He has outlasted thousands of abler thinkers, and will outlast a thousand more.”
—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)
