Tonight, I was looking for something interesting about strong women for a story I'm doing, and, while these aren't quite ones that fit the thing I'm working on, they are good ones nonetheless.
There is no such thing as an ugly woman. ~Vincent Van Gogh
Oh, Vincent. Just one more reason to love, love, love you. As if I needed another....
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace. ~Marianne Williamson, "A Woman's Worth"
Exactly. I don't think that needs commentary from me other than that.
The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think. ~Author Unknown
Hmm. Maybe. Definitely the last part is true. I am not sure about the first. I have brains but no beauty (although Vincent thinks otherwise), and I don't think I'd trade.
Men who don't like girls with brains don't like girls. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
I have this one on my desk. I've always thought that guys who don't like girls with brains are really just looking for a mirror or a toy....
They may talk of a comet, or a burning mountain, or some such bagatelle; but to me a modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation. ~Oliver Goldsmith
Oh, Goldsmith. You old flirt. I like the idea that he liked the idea of a woman being modest. That quality certainly doesn't seem to be in high appreciation today.
That's probably enough. I do have something else I'm doing, after all.
