Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.

I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.

Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.

All children have creative power.

The tragedy of bold, forthright, industrious people is that they act so continuously without much thinking, that it becomes dry and empty.

It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one's mistakes. Of course they are mistakes. Go on to the next.

Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two.

This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.

Even if I knew for certain that I would never have anything published again, and would never make another cent from it, I would still keep on writing.

Consistency is the horror of the world.

The spirit I think is a stream a fountain and must be continually poured out for only if it is poured out will more and clearer streams come.

Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

Our children are not going to be just "our children" - they are going to be other people's husbands and wives and the parents of our grandchildren.

All my six husbands married me for different reasons.

Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.

The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin.

Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.

I'm always amazed when young women who are having babies want their husbands to watch the babies come out. I would never allow anything like that.

The divine right of husbands, like the divine right of kings, may, it is hoped, in this enlightened age, be contested without danger.

My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.

Husbands are like fires - they go out when unattended.

The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues, such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

I don't have any gnawing guilt over contributing to any unhappiness suffered by my husbands. They were as much to blame as I was.

Husbands never become good; they merely become proficient.

My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands and two of them were just napping.

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.

Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.

With two leftover husbands to account for, my wicked soul has just about shriveled and died.

Women desire six things: They want their husbands to be brave, wise, rich, generous, obedient to wife, and lively in bed.

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Many men hoard for the future husbands of their wives.

The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along.

How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own?

Women didn't want to watch other women on television because they were jealous of their husbands' diverted attention.

Tell your husbands any bad news when everything is calm, not just as they come through the door.

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.

I'm still friends with all my exes, apart from my husbands.

A woman asking "Am I good? Am I satisfied?" is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

Women may give lip service to wanting husbands who take on an equal role in raising children, but many will pull rank when an important decision, like how to discipline or what baby sitter to hire, has to be made.

The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married.

American husbands are the best in the world; no other husbands are so generous to their wives, or can be so easily divorced.

The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it.

I never saved my money. Whenever I worked in the past, I would spend it on my family or my husbands.

But there were women in the world, and from them each of our heroes had taken to himself a wife. The good ladies were no strangers to the prowess of their husbands. and, strange as it may seem, they presumed a little upon it.

Husbands and wives generally understand when opposition will be vain.

Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.
