. Here’s somewisdom about women, sex, and love.25. “You never lose by loving. You lose by holding back.” --BarbaraDe Angelis24. “Woman the bowl, the urn, the cave, the musky jungle. We arethe dark mysterium! We are hidden folds and primal wisdom andalways, always, the womb, bearing life, releasing life, and thensucking it back in again, into those moist, chthonic plaits. ‘Malesexuality, then, returning to this primal source, drinks at the spring of being and enters the murky region, where up is down and death islife, of mythology,’ John Updike has written.” --Natalie Angier,
Woman: An Intimate Geography.
23. “It is hard to understand why it is that when we have
roots
wewant
wings
and when we have wings we seek roots, or why it is sodifficult to have both at the same time. I just know that the peoplemaking the change to get one when they have the other rarely realizehow important the one they are giving up will be until they’ve lost it.But by then, it is too late.” --Merle Shain,
Courage My Love: A Book to Light an Honest Path.
22. “Many of us are addicts, only we don't know it. We turn to eachother out of the same needs that drive some people to drink andothers to heroin. Interpersonal addiction, love addiction, is just aboutthe most common yet least recognized form of addiction we know.” –Stanton Peele,
Love and Addiction
21. “If our parents related to us in hostile, critical, cruel, manipulative,overbearing, over dependent, or otherwise inappropriate ways, that iswhat will feel ‘right’ to us when we meet someone who expresses,perhaps very subtly, undertones of the same attitudes andbehaviors.” --Robin Norwood,
Women Who Love Too Much
20. “Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift youhigher.” --Oprah Winfrey19. “What competing is to males, choosing is to females. We do notmean to imply that women are not competitive with one another; theyare, but not so directly or blatantly as men. Women tend to competeby focusing on themselves, by striving to look more attractive,seductive, desirable, and youthful than the competition. Of the threeevolutionary goods female seek, a future mate’s resources are themost apparent and, to many, the most important. From insects toprimates, females prefer wealthy men.”—Judith Lipton and DavidBarash,
Making Sense of Sex.
18. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people willforget what you did, but people will never forget how you made themfeel.” --Maya Angelou17. “Scientists have documented an astonishing array of structural,chemical, genetic, hormonal, and functional brain differencesbetween women and men. For example, in the brain centers for language and learning women have 11 percent more neurons thanmen. The principle hub of both emotion and memory formation—thehippocampus—is also larger in the female brain, as is the braincircuitry for language and observing emotions in others.” --LouannBrizendine,
The Female Brain.
16. “The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get evenless than you settled for.”--Maureen Dowd
