A man's life is of more value than a woman's. It has larger issues, wider scope, greater ambitions.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
A woman will flirt with anybody in the world as long as other people are looking on.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
But good women have such limited views of life, their horizon is so small, their interests so petty.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Crying is the refuge of plain women, but the ruin of pretty ones.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
Curious thing, plain women are always jealous of their husbands, beautiful women never are!
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
I always liked your taste in wine and wives extremely.
VERA, OR THE NIHILISTS |
I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
I don't think man has much capacity for development. He has got as far as he can, and that is not far, is it?
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
I like men who have a future, and women who have a past.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
If a woman really repents, she has to go to a bad dressmaker, otherwise no one believes in her.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
If a woman wants to hold a man, she has merely to appeal to the worst in him.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
In the art of amusing men they are adepts, both by nature and education, and can actually tell a story without forgetting the point - an accomplishment that is extremely rare among the women of other countries.
THE AMERICAN INVASION |
In the case of very fascinating women, sex is a challenge, not a defence.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
It takes a thoroughly good woman to do a thoroughly stupid thing.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
Jack: I'll bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister.
Algernon: Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST |
Lady Plymdale: Who is that well-dressed woman talking to Windermere?
Dumby: Haven't got the slightest idea! Looks like an edition de luxe of a wicked French novel, meant specially for the English market.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
Like all stout women, she looks the very picture of happiness.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
Man, poor, awkward, reliable, necessary man belongs to a sex that has been rational for millions and millions of years. He can't help himself.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Many a woman has a past, but I am told that she has at least a dozen, and that they all fit.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
Men become old, but they never become good.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
Men who are dandies and women who are darlings rule the world.
THE MODEL MILLIONAIRE |
My dear Margaret, what a handsome woman your husband has been dancing with! I should be quite jealous if I were you! Is she a great friend of yours?
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
No man has real success in this world unless he has got a woman to back him, and women rule society.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Oh! Wicked women bother one. Good women bore one. That is the difference between them.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
One should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
Ordinary women never appeal to one's imagination. They are limited to their century. No glamour ever transfigures them. One knows their minds as easily as one knows their bonnets.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
She certainly has a wonderful faculty of remembering people's names and forgetting their faces.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
She has not touched the tambour frame for nine or ten years. But she has many other amusements. She is very much interested in her own health.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
She is a peacock in everything but beauty.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
She was perfectly proportioned - a rare thing in an age when so many women are either over life-size or insignificant.
LORD ARTHUR SAVILE'S CRIME |
She wore far too much rouge last night, and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
The fact is that men should never try to dictate to women. They never know how to do it, and when they do it, they always say something particularly foolish.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST |
The history of women is the history of the worst form of tyranny the world has ever known. The tyranny of the weak over the strong.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
The one charm of the past is that it is past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen. They always want a sixth act, and as soon as the interest in the play is entirely over they propose to continue it.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her, if she is pretty, and to someone else, if she is plain.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST |
The world was made for men and not for women.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
These straw-coloured women have dreadful tempers.
LADY WINDERMERE'S FAN |
We women adore failures. They lean on us.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
What a typical woman you are! You talk sentimentally and you are thoroughly selfish the whole time.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
When a man does exactly what a woman expects him to do she doesn't think much of him. One should always do what a woman doesn't expect, just as one should say what she doesn't understand.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST |
Women are a fascinatingly wilful sex. Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
THE SPHINX WITHOUT A SECRET |
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.
AN IDEAL HUSBAND |
Women have no appreciation of good looks; at least, good women have not.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
Women represent the triumph of matter over mind -just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Women, as some witty Frenchman once put it, inspire us with the desire to do masterpieces, and always prevent us from carrying them out.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
You flatter her. She has her virtues as most women have, But beauty is a gem she may not wear.
A FLORENTINE TRAGEDY |
You should never try to understand them. Women are pictures. Men are problems. If you want to know what a woman really means - which, by the way, is always a dangerous thing to do -look at her, don't listen to her.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
You were the prettiest of playthings, the most fascinating of small romances.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
You women live by your emotions and for them. You have no philosophy of life.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot.
THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY |
Young women of the present day seem to make it the sole object of their lives to be always playing with fire.
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE |
