I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.

Anaïs Nin

These are a bit all over the place. Some talk about gender relations in general, others are tongue-in-cheek reminders, and some are just random.

“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

Elizabeth Taylor is pre-feminist woman. This is the source of her continuing greatness and relevance. She wields the sexual power that feminism cannot explain and has tried to destroy. Through stars like Taylor, we sense the World-disordering impact of legendary women like Delilah, Salome, and Helen of Troy. Feminism has tried to dismiss the femme fatale as a misogynist libel, a hoary cliché. But the femme fatale expresses women's ancient and eternal control of the sexual realm. The specter of the femme fatale stalks all men's relations with women.

Camille Paglia

Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.

Yul Brynner

Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Women don't want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think - in a deeper voice.

Bill Crosby

Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.

Mariene Dietrich

Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.

James Joyce

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

Bill Maher

I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.

Mary Shelley

The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.

Lawrence Durrell

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

Katharine Hepburn

Women need to feel loved and men need to feel needed.

Rita Mae Brown, Riding Shotgun

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

One frequently only finds out how really beautiful a women is, until after considerable acquaintance with her

Mark Twain

a wise woman puts a grain of sugar in everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.

Helen Rowland

A man is always devoted to something more tangible than a woman - the idea of her.

Bauvard, The Prince Of Plungers

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

Ivanov: A naive man is a fool. But you women are clever enough to be naive so that it comes out in you as engaging and healthy and warm, and not so silly as it might seem. Only why do you all behave like this? While a man is healthy and strong and in good spirits, you pay him no attention, but as soon as he rolls down the slippery slope and starts complaining about his woes, you hang on his neck.

Anton Chekhov, Ivanov

Woman wants control, man self-control .

Immanuel Kant

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

Socrates

In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.

Gerald Brenan

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

Martin Luther

A good husband makes a good wife.

John Florio

There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.

Henry Miller

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

Oscar Wilde

This one is fairly well known but I really like it.

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Also, one that is very often relevant here

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
