Women Aged

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or aged:

“I had heard so much about how hard it was supposed to be that, when they were little, I thought it would be horrible when they got married and left. But that’s silly you know. . . . By the time they grow up, they change and you change. Eventually, they’re not the same little kids and you’re not the same mother. It’s as if everything just falls into a pattern and you’re ready.”
—Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)

“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)
