“On the theory of the soul's mortality, the inferiority of women's capacity is easily accounted for: Their domestic life requires no higher faculties either of mind or body. This circumstance vanishes and becomes absolutely insignificant, on the religious theory: The one sex has an equal task to perform as the other: Their powers of reason and resolution ought also to have been equal, and both of them infinitely greater than at present.” MindHas BeensSoulReasonBodySexWomenReligiousGreaterTheoryOughtHigherCircumstancesEqualCapacityTasksFacultyResolutionMortalityInsignificantInferiorityDomestic Life Book:Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (Second Edition) Source: Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (Second Edition)
“The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men's theories of women, as they alwayshave done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it's because she doesn't quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man's picture of woman to live up to.” KnowsMenWantTryingRealDoneWomenTroubleTheoryTypeGoes OnPatternsIdealismHysterical Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“I happen to disagree with the well-entrenched theory that the art of conversation is merely the art of being a good listener. Such advice invites people to be cynical with one another and full of fake; when a conversation becomes a monologue, poked along with tiny cattle-prod questions, it isn't a conversation any more.” PeopleWellsArtHappensWomenAdviceTheoryConversationTinyFakeDisagreeInvitesCynicalListenersCattleMonologuesGood ListenerArt Of Conversation Author:Barbara Walters
