Most men have made their women into swimming pools by continually treating them like men, talking with them about their feelings as if they can be analyzed to the point of “fixing” them.

Womenfolks have powerful imaginations when it comes to a man, an’ she can read things into him he never knew was there, and like as not, they ain’t!

Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.

Sometimes you have to be a lion to be the lamb you really are.

I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him.

A nation of sheep will always beget a government of wolves.

I am always amazed, in myself and in other women, at the strength of our need to bolster men up. This is ironical, living as we do in a time of men’s criticizing us for being ‘castrating’, etc., — all the other words and phrases of the same kind. (Nelson says his wife is ‘castrating’ — this makes me angry, thinking of the misery she must have lived through.) For the truth is, women have this deep instinctive need to build a man up as a man. Molly for instance. I suppose this is because real men become fewer and fewer, and we are frightened, trying to create men.

Men love a prop so well, that they will lean on a pointed poisoned spear; and such was he, the impostor, who, with fear of hell for his scourge, most ravenous wolf, played the driver to a credulous flock.

Women with pasts interest men because they hope history will repeat itself.

No doubt there are slavish women as well as slavish men; and women, like men, admire those that are stronger than themselves.

I always run into strong women who are looking for weak men to dominate them.

A man is just a woman's strategy for making other women.

Fill your life with women that empower you, that help you believe in your magic and aid them to believe in their own exceptional power and their incredible magic too. Women that believe in each other can survive anything. Women who believe in each other create armies that will win kingdoms and wars.

If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
