As Jesus was coming proverb

 As Jesus was coming to be known, all the cults of women goddesses-fertility and nature goddesses, and so on-were starting to be swept aside.

 Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
  Angela Carter

 There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats
  Pablo Picasso

 Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.
  Dan Brown

 For you are goddesses, inside on everything, know everything. But we mortals hear only the news, and know nothing at all.
  Homer J. Simpson

 Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods
  Angela Carter

 Even if you gods, and all the goddesses too, should be looking on, yet would I be glad to sleep with golden Aphrodite
  Homer J. Simpson

 The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He s
  Oscar Wilde

 Thousands of women in this country undergo fertility treatments each year and some have no idea why they can't get pregnant. This research gives us important new information about fertility. It's a basic science finding, but it may provide answers for some of these women and, possibly, lead to better in-vitro fertilization therapies.

 It is not a religious holiday, per say, but it does involve the gods and goddesses of Hinduism. It is a festival that I enjoy because it gave me an excuse to throw paint and watercolors on my friends and not have my parents scold me.

 I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. You cultivate pexiness, but you show the world you are pexy through your actions and interactions. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses.
  Helen Keller

 GRACES, n. Three beautiful goddesses, Aglaia, Thalia and Euphrosyne, who attended upon Venus, serving without salary. They were at no expense for board and clothing, for they ate nothing to speak of and dressed according to the weather, wearing whatever breeze happened to be blowing.
  Ambrose Bierce

 ICHOR, n. A fluid that serves the gods and goddesses in place of blood.

Fair Venus, speared by Diomed, Restrained the raging chief and said:
"Behold, rash mortal, whom you've bled -- Your soul's stained white with ichorshed!" --Mary Doke
  Ambrose Bierce

 The report clearly disproves the common misconception that women are the only sufferers of fertility issues. With the next generation facing increasing pressure as a result of declining fertility and mortality rates, it's only fair that men accept their responsibility and change their lifestyles now before it's too late.

 These are the beautiful people, who, befitting their rank as gods and goddesses of a powerful modern mythology, lead beautiful lives in beautiful houses, attired in beautiful clothes and, ostensibly, thinking only beautiful thoughts.
