Reams of paper and reels of films have been dedicated to describe a woman. Women-oriented books promise to reveal 'the secret' underlying womanhood. Biologists have spent their lifetime decoding the mystery of a woman. But the woman continues to be an enigma. Her enigma embodies her beauty. And this beauty is not skin-deep. These famous quotes about women explore the qualities of women.
Rebecca West, The Clarion

Anne Morrow Lindbergh, American aviator, Gift From the Sea

I know what every colored woman in this country is doing. Dying. Just like me. But the difference is they are dying like a stump. Me, I'm going down like one of those redwoods. I sure did live in this world.
William Congreve, English Playwright
Heaven hath no rage like a love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.
