We have put together the best quotes from famous women about love, fidelity, men and your own desires that will inspire you and help you look at ordinary things in a different way
Family
Alexandra Fedorovna
wife of Nicholas II
"Nothing of a wife's concerns should seem too small, even for the gigantic intellect of the greatest of husbands. On the other hand, every wise and faithful wife will willingly take an interest in her husband's affairs. She will want to know about his every new project, plan, difficulty, doubt. She will want to know which of his undertakings have succeeded and which have not, and be aware of all his daily affairs. Let both hearts share both joy and suffering. Let them share the burden of worries. Let everything in life be common to them. They should go to church together, pray side by side, together bring to the feet of God the burden of caring for their children and everything dear to them. Why don't they talk to each other about their temptations, doubts, secret desires and help each other with sympathy, words of encouragement? So they will live one life, not two.”
Jennifer Aniston
American actress
"The most enjoyable part of marriage is when you go through ups and downs together, and no matter what happens, you look at that person and say, 'I'm still with you, I still love you.' You quarrel, make up, get to know each other again. I love it, I would like it in my marriage.”
Larisa Guzeeva
Soviet and Russian theater and film actress, TV presenter
“Married life has nothing to do with elephants and incense sticks. We must love everyday life, ordinary life, then we will be happy. I like to have dinner in the evening, go skiing with my husband on weekends, give birth to children, do homework with them. Learn to think about work beyond the threshold of the house, do not hang up your problems and do not "burden" the family. Men don't like to be complained to, especially about work. They have one answer: "Search it yourself" or "Don't work."
Keira Knightley
British actress
"We all want to be part of a perfect, flawless, divine relationship, but that's not how it is. This is a fantasy that is imposed on us, including films. There are many other components of a love relationship: jealousy, madness, neurosis.”
About motherhood
Jennifer Lopez
American actress, singer
"With having kids, I'm no longer number one on my own priority list. Now they are number one. I can’t even imagine how I could perform - and then I had a world concert tour - almost until the seventh month of pregnancy! Now I would never do that: all my thoughts are that it will be good, convenient, great for children. I can’t even part with them: they travel with me all over the world.”
Vanessa Paradis
French actress, singer and fashion model
"Like any mother, I wondered, 'How can I love another child as much when the first one already takes all my heart?'" When Jack was born, I just realized that my heart got bigger "".
About men
Marlene Dietrich
German and American actress
“Nature arranged it so that a man should be next to a woman. He thinks more logically than we do. Perhaps it is embedded in the cells of his brain. And I know for sure: for solving various problems, a clear opinion of a man is the best means to put your own confused head in order.”
Tina Kandelaki
Russian journalist, TV presenter, producer and public figure
"It's easy to drive a man crazy: just wear a bra with a front closure, a T-shirt with a hidden closure between the legs and stretch pants with fake fly."
Margaret Thatcher
71st British Prime Minister
"The rooster may crow well, but the hen still lays eggs."
About beauty
Marilyn Monroe
American film actress
“No one ever told me that I was beautiful when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told that they are beautiful, even if they are not.”
Monica Bellucci
Italian model
"Beauty for a woman becomes a problem only in two cases: when there is none, and when there is nothing but beauty."
About life
Audrey Hepburn
British actress
"If you need a helping hand, know that you have it - your own. When you get older, you will realize that you have two hands: one to help yourself, the other to help others.”
Lyudmila Gurchenko
Soviet and Russian theater and film actress
"Please believe in yourself, love, fear nothing, be free, take risks. You see, life is such a thing that you seem to be young, young, young, and then bam - and the end. You look around and think about how much you didn’t do because you were afraid, shy, scared. You don't have to be afraid of anything. Take risks. Even if you are wrong. That's life. And most importantly, love each other. Always, every minute.”
Lolita Milyavskaya
Russian singer
"Life puts you in certain limits. You either break or you don't. And yet, it seems to me, strength lies in hiding this very strength. Look affectionate, gentle, carefree, incendiary, incapable of making decisions, dependent on a man. In my opinion, this is the greatest strength. The rest is weakness.”
Madonna
American singer
"What has life taught me? Give in. This does not mean showing weakness: I just realized that you can put pressure on people and terrorize them, or you can get your way with more subtle means.”
Oprah Winfrey
actress and TV presenter
"What do you see when you look into the future? This is important because you see what you want to receive. When you look into your future, do your eyes light up? If yes, then this is what you are going to get. If you see your future as ordinary and mundane, this is exactly what you will get. What you see is what you get. Start seeing who you want to be.”
About age
Sophie Loren
Italian actress
"When my friends remind me that I'm over sixty years old, I can't believe it myself. I feel like I'm still twelve years old. I probably stayed in that childhood and look at the world with wide eyes. I'm still interested in life. I am grateful to fate for every day I live, for the opportunity to constantly discover something new for myself … If you are lucky enough to keep the soul of a child in yourself, then the best in your life is yet to come …"
Coco Chanel
French fashion designer
“At 20, nature gives you a face, at 30 life sculpts it, but at 50 you have to earn it yourself… Nothing ages like the desire to look younger. After 50, no one is young anymore. But I know 50-year-olds who are more attractive than three-quarters of poorly groomed young women.”
