Have you ever thought about how great people’s statements about women are not similar to the ideas of women themselves about being, essence and their own nature? Of course, poets, writers, public figures subtly capture the essence of a female character. However, men and women look at the ladies' world, as if from different poles. This is fully confirmed by the statements of famous women of our era.
Woman as the root cause of vice
Starting from the biblical writings, the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity were identified with vice and base desires, they were credited with deceit and the calculation of self-interest for the sake of. But without beautiful ladies, not a single man could imagine his existence. In ancient times, the statements of great people about women fully confirm the inner struggle of the male ego. This is fully confirmed by the words of King Solomon that “a woman is sweeter than life and worse than death” at the same time. A lot of judgments came down to the fact that the lady’s soul was sold to the devil himself, and only then surrendered to God when the devil turns away from her.
Beautiful ladies as an object of desire
Years passed, men continued to lose their heads in love and increasingly began to sing the unearthly beauty. The statements of great people about women in verses stunningly convey the entire sensual component of the relationship between the sexes. Until now, lovers reread great works with inspiration and rapture, and many lines from poems have become winged phrases and aphorisms. The most subtle feminine essence was captured by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin with his imperishable phrase "the less a woman we love, the more she likes us." And the French philosopher Voltaire argued that "all opposites converge in the heart of a woman." Despite the fact that a woman was still identified with a vice and was primarily an object of desire, men could not imagine their life without a vivid sense of love. So, Victor Hugo said that love is akin to salt for meat, nourishes the heart, thereby protecting it from damage.
“They demand the largest and smallest ...”
Also among the old sayings, the craving of great people to point out female shortcomings is increasingly traced, among which stupidity and the desire to manipulate husbands and lovers, and eternal ladies' impermanence stand apart. The statements of great people about women seem to reveal all the problems of the incomprehensible female soul. However, the advanced judgments of that era have already begun to boil down to the fact that even the most mediocre ugly woman can be made a beautiful young lady, you just have to ... love her. To all this, many wise people have noticed how beautiful ladies are on the diamonds, which can cloud the mind.
Statements of great people about women and flowers, fruits and enjoyment
It is no wonder that since ancient times beautiful ladies have been compared with nature itself, with the earth on the basis of the holy destiny of being a mother. It is customary to compare female beauty with the beauty of a beautiful flower. Moreover, this beauty can be unobtrusive and modest, like a wild flower, or bright and sophisticated, like a rose or orchid. Many people tried to unravel the woman in the same way as you can know the nature of the flower when you tear the petal from petal from the bud.
Yanush Gaudyn vividly described obstinacy and the eternal desire to subjugate a man to himself, saying that it is not enough for other women to present a bouquet of beautiful roses; they want the man to change the water in the vase as well. And despite the notorious thorns, roses, like women with their incomprehensible mysterious character, are usually admired by comparing the beauty and tenderness of buds with love itself. And without love for a woman, a man does not think of his existence, comparing this feeling with inner purification. Therefore, the statements of great people about women mothers are filled with deep feelings of affection and gratitude, tenderness, and the warmth of maternal hands.
Our contemporaries
Since the end of the 19th century, women have been taking more and more part in public affairs, developing, learning and gaining universal recognition. Already, the ladies themselves have become too emancipated and independent. And more and more often say about women. There are not so many great people, but fame thanks to its judgments can be acquired by every intelligent and wise person with life experience. Women themselves, social activists, politicians and public figures speak of themselves as the guardian of the hearth, a mother who has forgotten about her interests in the name of the younger generation.
The most progressive views are noted by our contemporary, actress, director, UN Goodwill Ambassador, mother of six children, three of whom are foster children. We are talking about a brilliant man, a loving and beloved woman, Angelina Jolie. The actress calls for maintaining selflessness in thoughts. According to her, when a person commits good deeds without regard to reward, in the future it will return a hundredfold. Speaking about the fact that the modern way of life makes a woman strong, the actress notes that any, even the most emancipated and independent woman, accustomed to “pulling” parents, brothers and sisters, children alone, subconsciously wants to be weak. That is why she chooses a strong man as her companion.
Statements about Women of Great Men: Coco Chanel
Having changed not only the fashionable look, but also the consciousness of the beautiful half of humanity, the famous Coco Chanel is not used to self-flagellation and seeking out her own oddities, she is not used to explaining anything. So the statements of the French woman are not reduced to a description of female qualities and traits, but rather resemble a call to action. What is the only catch phrase that sounded like a bolt from the blue: "There are no ugly women, there are lazy ones." The ladies listened, took the aphorism into service and simply changed their lifestyle.
Conclusion
Statements of great people about women mainly come down to admiration for beauty and forgiveness of stupidity. Our great compatriot Faina Ranevskaya once said that the Lord made women beautiful so that men could love them. But stupidity is given to women as a counterweight, otherwise they will not be able to love a man.
