There can be no spirituality, no sanctity, no truth without the female
sex.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Revelations,
1993
I'm just a person trapped inside a woman's body.
Elayne Boosler
Women upset everything. When you let them into your life, you find
that the woman is driving at one thing and you're driving at another.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Pygmalion" (1913)
Misogynist: A man who hates women as much as women hate one another.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
I hate women because they always know where things are.
James Thurber (1894 - 1961)
The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be
trained to do most things.
Jilly Cooper
Funny business, a woman's career: the things you drop on the way up
the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again
when you get back to being a woman. It's one career all females have in
common, whether we like it or not: being a woman. Sooner or later, we've
got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted.
Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909 - 1993), in All About Eve
For all their strength, men were sometimes like little children.
Lawana Blackwell, The Dowry of Miss Lydia Clark, 1999
Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism.
But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens
to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no
purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850), Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 1845
When I think of talking, it is of course with a woman. For talking at
its best being an inspiration, it wants a corresponding divine quality
of receptiveness, and where will you find this but in a woman?
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them
the same things.
Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)
When the candles are out all women are fair.
Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD), Morals
Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are
strange.
Robin Morgan
Men live in a fantasy world. I know this because I am one, and I
actually receive my mail there.
Scott Adams (1957 - )
What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is
most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.
Susan Sontag (1933 - 2004), Against Interpretation, 1966
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary (1920 - 1996)
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941)
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
William Congreve (1670 - 1729), The Mourning Bride, 1697
Frailty, thy name is woman!
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Hamlet"
