Men
And Women Quotes - Some men like shiny new toys. Others like the priceless
antique
“It
was the wildness of it that got me going: the primal lust, the sheer needs of
two people in heat, quickly finding ways to express their sacred hunger to each
other in animal passion.”
―
Fiona Thrust, Naked and Sexual
“Can
you imagine a world without men? There'd be no crime, and lots of fat happy
women.”

“As
a Texan, I say ma'm and sir to my age contemporaries and open doors for anyone
that I can. This goes for men, too, though it is appreciated when they beat me
to it and disappointing when they don't.”

“Women,
in general, will find it difficult to turn from a man and stop demanding that
he meets their needs, provides security, and protects their identity, and
return to me. Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of
their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and turn
to me.”

Wm. Paul Young, The Shack
“When
men see an attractive woman, they fantasize about sex. When women see an
attractive man they fantasize about a relationship.”

“Women
don't realize how much store men set on the regularity of their habits. We
absorb their comings and goings into our bodies, their rhythms into our bones.”

Louise Erdrich, The Round House
“It
is assured that men of all ages imagine a woman naked when they first meet.”

Donna Lynn Hope
“One
minute she acts like she wants to be with me and I'm the one rejecting her. The
next, she's got this barbed wire fence and barking dogs around her, like I
can't even ask her the simplest questions."
"And
here I was assuming you didn't care about her."
Stabbing
his fingers through his hair, he groaned, "I don't!"
"And
you make it perfectly clear." Men. Idiots.”

“Unfortunately,
he still hadn’t asked for my number, or a date, or my hand in marriage, and my
drink was getting low.”

“If
men and women were surer of their God there would be more genuine manliness,
womanliness, and godliness in the world, and a whole lot less fear of each
other.”
―
Elisabeth Elliot
“Women
like silent men. They think they're listening.”

Marcel Achard
“Maybe
there are just some men like that in the world, I thought. Men who have to be
in charge, who have to punish those who awaken feelings in them which they
cannot control. Men who will lure you with tenderness till you believe that you
are safe then slap you down. Men whom it is impossible for anyone to love
without losing their dignity. Men who have to damage those who love them most.
But, then, I had fallen on love with one, so what did that make me?”

Helen Fielding, Cause Celeb

women shouldn't stop in the middle of nowhere for giant unkempt strangers with

“A
person who is another man's slave is better than one who is a slave to lust.”

“Men
often complain of the wickedness of women. Of how we delight in what power we
have over their hearts. But they reign over everything else, so of course, they
grudge us this, should we ever come to rule over this thing the size of their
fist.”
―
Alexander Chee, The Queen of the Night
“I
haven't met that many women, human or angelic, who actually like to drive. In
my experience they seem to be much more pragmatic about the whole thing than we
are. For most males, driving is an extension of their masculinity; they have
little fantasy scenarios going all the time - races, chases, and dramatic
combat with other drivers. Females, on the other hand, generally seem to view
driving as something you do to get somewhere. I know, crazy.”
―
Tad Williams, The Dirty Streets of Heaven
“Lots
of women read fiction. Most men don't. Women read fiction written by women and
by men. Most men don't. If a man opens a novel,. he likes to have a masculine
name on the cover; it's reassuring somehow. You never know what might happen to
that external genitalia if you immerse yourself in imaginary doings concocted
by someone with the goods on the inside.”
―
Siri Hustvedt, The Summer Without Men
“Ariel
laughed and now her goose bumps had goose bumps.”

“There's
a cover for every pot, but I've never seen so many mismatched pots and covers
in all my life. - Ellen Wasserfeldman, from Notes from Ellen Wasserfeldman by

“The
woman's vision is deep and reaching, the man's far reaching. With the man the
world is his heart, with the woman, the heart is her world.”
