Men
And Women Quotes - What's your definition of dating?
“When
you hear men talking," said Cornelia, "all they ever do is speak ill
of women. ... And I don't quite know how they managed to make this law in their
favour, or who exactly it was who gave them a greater license to sin than is
allowed to us; and if the fault is common to both sexes (as they can hardly
deny), why should the blame not be as well? What makes them think they can
boast of the same thing that in women brings only shame?”

Moderata Fonte, The Worth of Women: Wherein Is Clearly Revealed Their Nobility
and Their Superiority to Men
“In
my errant life I roamed
To
learn the secrets of women and men,
Of
gods and dreams.
I've
known all the countries of our world,
I've
lived a thousand lives:
Many
lives I lived in love,
Other
lives I squandered.
For
in my life I never traveled,
All
I did was wander.”

Roman Payne, The Wanderess
“As
I saw it,
all
my mother's life, my father
held
her down, like
lead
strapped to her ankles.
She
was
buoyant
by nature;
she
wanted to travel,
go
to the theater, go to museums.
What
he wanted
was
to lie on the couch
with
the Times
over
his face,
so
that death, when it came,
wouldn't
seem a significant change.”

Louise Glück, Ararat
“One
frequently only finds out how really beautiful a women is, until

Mark Twain
“To
feel aroused is to feel alive. Having great sex is like taking in huge lungfuls
of fresh air, essential to your body, essential to your health, and essential
to your life.”

“Men
are not dogs. We merely think we are and, on occasion, act as if we are. But,
by believing in our nobler nature, women have the amazing power to inspire us
to live up to it.”

“What
organized dating sites fail to understand is that the people are far more
interesting in what they don't say about themselves.”

Aphorisms

“At
one point, she'd wanted to hurl the whole breakfast at the wall. And then she'd
remember why it was that men had temper tantrums and women didn't: cleanup.”

Kristin Hannah, Angel Falls
“Watching
him with one eye, she wondered if men ever figured out that they were more
appealing when they were pursuing their own work than when they were pursuing a
woman.”

Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow
“It
was love, she thought, love that never clutch its object; but, like the love
which mathematicians bear their symbols, or poets their phrases, was meant to
be spread over the world and become part of human gain. The world by all means
should have shared it, could Mr Bankes have said why that woman pleased him so;
why the sight of her reading a fairy tale to her boy had upon him precisely the
same effect as the solution of a scientific problem.”
―
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
“When
men talk about the agony of being men, they can never quite get away from the
recurrent theme of self-pity. And when women talk about being women, they can
never quite get away from the recurrent theme of blaming men.”
―
Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides
“What's
the point of changing who you are in order to impress a woman, when your
intention is to return to who you were, a person she was never attracted to in
the first place?”

“What's
your definition of dating?
Lengthy
social time spent with a woman during which we're not actively fucking”

Sylvia Day, Bared to You
“There
is a correlation between the number of days since a man last had sex, and, the
number of things that he is willing to do for a woman.”
―

“A
man is always devoted to something more tangible than a woman - the idea of
her.”
―
Bauvard, The Prince Of Plungers
“Sarah
learnt a lot from Alex. Like the way men could say one thing, then another,
then act in a way inconsistent with both positions and somehow still be
convinced of their own integrity.”
―
Emily Maguire, Taming the Beast
“Ladies!
I encourage you NOT to be so easily flattered by what a man has. Be flattered
by his strength, courage, integrity, and character as a man. Be impressed by
his ability to be honest, faithful, loving, and respectful to you. Be impressed
because he can communicate and openly express his feelings. Be impressed
because he’s got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed
because he’s a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk!”
―
Stephanie Lahart
“We
sensible often resist intrusive love and its chaos practically, employing
measures to prevent the former for fear of the latter. But for all our wit and
work, that desperation for control also prevents the pure, transcendental
freedom more often delivered by both.”
