"Women want certain things in marriage--the right..." - Quote by Mae West

“... love is banality to all outsiders.”

“It is better to be looked over than overlooked.”

“It's not the men in my life that count, it's the life in my men.”

“That which is eternal in Woman lifts us above.”

“Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realise what a tremendous advantage she has over man.”

“Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.”

“Should all despair That have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind Would hang themselves.”

“"Why is it that at a bachelor's establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne? I ask merely for information." "I attribute it to the superior quality of the wine, sir. I have often observed that in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand." "Good Heavens! Is marriage so demoralizing as that?" "I believe it is a very pleasant state, sir. I have had very little experience of it myself up to the present. I have only been married once. That was in consequence of a misunderstanding between myself and a young person."”

“Political elections are a good deal like marriages, there's no accounting for anyone's taste.”
