Men Quotes
|
Betty Friedan:The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.
Dennis Prager:Men weren't really the enemy -- they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.
Farrah Fawcett:Men need rule books. Women want men to intuit what they want. And only about 2% of men can do that, and most of them are not heterosexual.
George Bernard Shaw:God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
George Jean Nathan:All young women begin by believing they can change and reform the men they marry. They can't.
Gloria Steinem:What passes for woman's intuition is often nothing more than man's transparency.
Helen Rowland:I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
Herb Goldberg:Never trust a husband too far, nor a bachelor too near.
James Baldwin:The struggle of the male to learn to listen to and respect his own intuitive, inner prompting is the greatest challenge of all. His conditioning has been so powerful that it has all but destroyed his ability to be self-aware.
Katharine Hepburn:If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.
Katharine Hepburn:Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
Margaret Mead:If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
Margaret Thatcher:Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
Pearl S. Buck:If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
Rita Mae Brown:The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between its men and its women.
Robert A. Heinlein:If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle.
Robert Frost:Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Simone de Beauvoir:A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Stanley Baldwin:No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.
Susan B. Anthony:I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.
Virginia Woolf:Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.
Virginia Woolf:Why are women ... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
W. L. George:The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
Walt Whitman:Men have been found to deny woman intellect; they have credited her with instinct, with intuition, with a capacity to correlate cause and effect much as a dog connects its collar with a walk.
Walter Cronkite:In the faces of men and women I see God.
I think somebody ought to do a survey as to how many great, important men have quit to spend time with their families who spent any more time with their family.
