Men
And Women Quotes - Morality was probably the invention of unattractive men
“Women
need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.”

Rita Mae Brown, Riding Shotgun
“There
are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.”

Will Rogers
“I
have met so many heartbroken men. It's a catastrophe. Women are easily overcome
by the process that happens when a boy falls in love and becomes a man. Men's
hearts are so often broken. Still, you have to leave your broken heart in a
place where- when the woman who knows how to see what a gift is, sees it- your
broken heart can be picked up again. I think that it takes a very strong woman
(inner strength) to be able to handle a man falling in love with her, without
morphing into a monster (the process is a very potent process, it can poison a
woman, really). A woman thinks she wants a man to fall in love with her for all
the perks that come with it; but when a real love really does happen, when a
real man shows his manhood; it's often too powerful a thing to endure without
being poisoned. Hence, all the heartbroken men. But, I do believe that there
are strong women in the world today. A few. But there are. You could say, that
the mark of a real woman, is a woman who can handle a man- a man falling in love
with her. A woman who can recognize that, and keep it with her.”

“There
will never be a good time, financially, to get married, unless you're Shaq or
Ray Romano. But somehow people manage. If your man is using money as an excuse
not to marry you, it's your relationship that's insecure, not his bank
account.”

Understanding Guys
“The
real thing that keeps men and women apart, is fear. Women blame men and men
blame women, but the culprit is fear, women are afraid of one thing, men are
afraid of a different thing; the fears of women have to do with losing while
the fears of men have to do with not being good enough for something. One is
loss, the other is insecurity. Men are innately more insecure than women and
women are innately more needful of companionship than men. It's good for both
men and women to be able to recognize and identify these fears not only within
themselves, but within each other, and then men and women will see that they
really do need to help each other. It's not a game, it's not a competition, the
two sexes need one another.”

“The
difference between the love of a man and the love of a woman is that a man will
always give reasons for loving, but a woman gives no reasons for loving.”

Fulton J. Sheen, Life Is Worth Living
“Women
leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find
someone new.”
― J.
Courtney Sullivan, Commencement
“Basically,
all women are nurturers and healers, and all men are mental patients to varying
degrees.”

Nelson DeMille, The General's Daughter
“I
have to go. I have a finite amount of life left and I don't want to spend it
arguing with you.”

Jennifer Armintrout, Ashes to Ashes
“...sitting
and waiting is one of the most miserable occupations known to man - not that it
usually is known to men; women do it much more often.”
―
Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber
“It
is a naive sort of feminism that insists that women prove their ability to do
all the things that men do. This is a distortion and a travesty. Men have never
sought to prove that they can do all the things women do. Why subject women to
purely masculine criteria? Women can and ought to be judged by the criteria of
femininity, for it is in their femininity that they participate in the human
race. And femininity has its limitations. So has masculinity. That is what
we’ve been talking about. To do this is not to do that. To be this is not to be
that. To be a woman is not to be a man. To be married is not to be single -
which may mean not to have a career. To marry this man is not to marry all the
others. A choice is a limitation.”

Elisabeth Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman
“The
difference between a house and a home is like the difference between a man and
a woman-- it might be embarrassing to explain, but it would be very unusual to
get them confused.”
―
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
“Both
men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel
free to be strong…it is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as
two opposing sets of ideas.”

Emma Watson
“I
sort of got off on making bad guys sweat. Which was not unlike my love of
making good guys sweat, just by very different means.”

“Morality
was probably the invention of unattractive men. Whom else does it benefit
really”

Manu Joseph, The Illicit Happiness of Other People
“Just
as women's bodies are softer than men's, so their understanding is sharper.”

Christine de Pizan
“I
live for sex.
I
celebrate it, and relish the electricity of it, with every fibre of my being.
I
can see no better reason for being alive.”

“I
was planning on starting a new file on my computer with the title "Phrases
That Sound One Way to Witches but Mean Something Else to Vampires.”

“Have
you ever seen The Last of the Mohicans?"
"I
love it."
"Really?"
I'm over the moon. We share a movie. Finally, we're on the same planet.
"Don't
you love the part where he says, 'Stay alive. I will find you'?" I ask.
"I
love that massacre scene," he says, like an excited little boy,
"where they're walking down that path in the middle of nowhere and they're
surrounded by the woods and you know the Indians are going to attack and it's
so tense."
Things
that make you go hmmm.”
