Women Aged

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or aged:

“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.”
—Corra May Harris (1869–1935)
