I need quotes about femininity and dependence as well as quotes about power

Femininity:

Since earliest manhood the center of [Stanley’s] life has been pleasure with women, the giving and taking of it, not with weak indulgence, dependently, but with the power and pride of a richly feathered male bird among hens.

I never met a woman that didn’t know if she was good-looking or not without being told, and some of them give themselves credit for more than they’ve got.

After all, a woman’s charm is fifty percent illusion.

Please submit each question one at a time. Thanks!
