"Women, more than all, are the element..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The highest praise we can attribute to any writer, painter, sculptor, builder, is, that he actually possessed the thought or feeling with which he has inspired us.”

“The greatest genius is the most indebted person.”

“There is always room for a man of force and he makes room for many. Society is a troop of thinkers and the best heads among them take the best places.”

“A bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.”

“If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.”

“Children, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty.”

“One should never know too precisely whom one has married”

“We work our jobs, collect our pay, believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away.”

“It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.”
