Anaïs Nin quote #61 from The Diary of Anaïs Nin

Man can never know the loneliness a woman knows. Man lies in the womans womb only to gather strength he nourishes himself from this fusion and then he rises and goes into the world into his work into battle into art. He is not lonely. He is busy. The memory of the swim in amniotic fluid gives him energy completion. Woman may be busy too but she feels empty. Sensuality for her is not only a wave of pleasure in which she is bathed and a charge of electric joy at contact with another. When man lies in her womb she is fulfilled each act of love a taking of man within her an act of birth and rebirth of child rearing and man bearing. Man lies in her womb and is reborn each time anew with a desire to act to be. But for woman the climax is not in the birth but in the moment man rests inside of her.

Bell Hooks famous quote #359

Usually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. If the first woman they passionately loved the mother was not true to her bond of love then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partners love. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mothers love because he is not worthy as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past it merely reenacts it for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship thus reenacting the abandonment. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful in being dominant.

Charlotte Brontë quote #204 from Jane Eyre

I am not an angel I asserted and I will not be one till I die I will be myself. Mr. Rochester you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it any more than I shall get it of you which I do not at all anticipate.

Coco Chanel famous quote #360

Its probably not just by chance that Im alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me unless hes terribly strong. And if hes stronger than I Im the one who cant live with him. Im neither smart nor stupid but I dont think Im a run-of-the-mill person. Ive been in business without being a businesswoman Ive loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men Ive loved I think will remember me on earth or in heaven because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. Ive done my best in regard to people and to life without precepts but with a taste for justice.

Gillian Anderson famous quote #242

Well it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
