To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.
Aristotle OnassisRead
If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Interpretation
The quote suggests that women give value and purpose to wealth and material possessions.
Aristotle Onassis believes that the existence of women enriches life beyond material wealth, implying that love and relationships are far more significant than money. The quote emphasizes the idea that while money can provide comfort and security, it lacks true meaning without the emotional and relational connections that women embody in our lives.
In practice
This quote can be used in a speech about the importance of women in society.
We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.
That is what fame is, isn't it? To get the world to fall in love with you.
She was happy, and perfectly in line with the tradition of those women they used to call "ruined," "fallen," feckless, bitches in heat, ravished dolls, sweet sluts, instant princesses, hot numbers, great lays, succulent morsels, everybody's darlings . . .
Don't we forgive everything of a lover? We forgive selfishness, desire, guile. As long as we are the motive for it...There are some European words you can never translate properly into another language.
And none of these people, not one of them, had loved any of the others well enough. Failures, he thought, we're all failures... He wanted his love to be the wine and bread, and the blood and flesh. He reached for her, a dangerous stranger in a city of dangerous strangers, but she turned away from him and walked unsteadily through the crowd. How many loveless people walk among the barely loved?
When it aims to express a love of the world it refuses to conceal the many reasons why the world is hard to love, though we must love it because we have no other, and to fail to love it is not to exist at all.
