About Women Quotes

If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather Picture Quote #1

We should try to bring to any power what we have as women. We will destroy it all if we try to imitate that absolutely unfeeling, driving ambition that we have seen coming at us across the desk Picture Quote #1

You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet Picture Quote #1

The triumph can’t be had without the struggle. And I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t say my mom. Apart from the fact that she’s my mother, she’s a brilliant comedian and a force as a producer. She paved the way for women to produce and star in their own films, and to balance that with being the matriarch of our family is really inspiring Picture Quote #1

So loud was the wailing of the women and children that there was not one man among us whose heart did not bleed at the sound Picture Quote #1

I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people’s dream died there. It was a beautiful dream Picture Quote #1

A backlash against women’s rights is nothing new. Indeed it’s a recurring phenomenon: it returns every time women begin to make some headway towards equality, a seemingly inevitable early frost to the brief flowerings of feminism Picture Quote #1

Can anything be more absurd than keeping women in a state of ignorance, and yet so vehemently to insist on their resisting temptation? Picture Quote #1

The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source Picture Quote #1

Women had always fought for men, and for their children. Now they were ready to fight for their own human rights. Our militant movement was established Picture Quote #1

The most exciting thing about women’s liberation is that this century will be able to take advantage of talent and potential genius that have been wasted because of taboos Picture Quote #1

Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom Picture Quote #1

Women’s rights in essence is really a movement for freedom, a movement for equality, for the dignity of all women, for those who work outside the home and those who dedicate themselves with more altruism than any profession I know to being wives and mothers, cooks and chauffeurs, and child psychologists and loving human beings Picture Quote #1

Women, who are a majority of the peoples of the earth, are indispensable to the accumulation of the kind of social capital that is conducive to development, peace, justice and civility Picture Quote #1

Whatever community organization, whether it’s a women’s organization, or fighting for racial justice... you will get satisfaction out of doing something to give back to the community that you never get in any other way Picture Quote #1

You really do learn by example... Especially women, sometimes we think somebody’s going to rescue us, or somebody’s going to teach us how to do it, when in fact we have to understand that the biggest resource we have is inside of ourselves. I know that I can count on me to take care of me. That’s a very important thing to know Picture Quote #1

There is so much pressure to look a certain way in this town. But it’s nice to have a little meat on you, and I hope I inspire women to appreciate their muscular calves Picture Quote #1

We were always taught to swing slow with good tempo. But you have to have some acceleration throughout the swing. I think that’s where a lot of women go wrong. They should try to whack it a few times and see what happens Picture Quote #1

Although abortion has been legal nationwide for more than a quarter century, access remains difficult for many women Picture Quote #1

Gymnastics has become degraded as the participants have become younger. Once it was a sport of grace for women, never for little girls Picture Quote #1

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live Picture Quote #1

Suppose you came across a woman lying on the street with an elephant sitting on her chest. You notice she is short of breath. Shortness of breath can be a symptom of heart problems. In her case, the much more likely cause is the elephant on her chest. For a long time, society put obstacles in the way of women who wanted to enter the sciences. That is the elephant. Until the playing field has veen leveled and lingering stereotypes are gone, you can’t even ask the question Picture Quote #1

We are in a double bind. We are expected to feel inferior not only as women, but because we are old Picture Quote #1

Women are not as sentimental as men, and are not so easily touched with the unspoken poetry of nature, being less poetical, and having less imagination; they are more fitted for practical affairs, and would make fewer failures in business Picture Quote #1

Women are a problem, but if you haven’t already guessed, they are the kind of problem I enjoy wrestling with Picture Quote #1

Though women have small force to overcome men by reason; yet have they good fortune to undermine them by policy Picture Quote #1

It’s funny. I’m attracted to things that don’t have any impact on life. People say I’ve done a great thing for women. I don’t think I have. People say I’ve given people courage. That makes me feel good, but I don’t see how I do that. I think my running is a selfish thing. But it provides the challenge that allows me to feel good about myself. How can I expect to do well in other activities if I don’t feel good about myself? Picture Quote #1

Women and people of color and young people especially are about to have this amazing opportunity to shift the political conversation in this country for the good of all of us, toward more progressive policies, and it’s a really amazing and important time to be part of that Picture Quote #1

Sexism is so five minutes ago. I think for the most part, people accept that women are as competent as men Picture Quote #1
