| Susan B. Anthony | There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers. | 101 |
| Demetri Martin | I love women, but I feel like you can't trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog's name. Then I said, 'Does he bite?' She said, 'No.' And I said, 'Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?' Liar. | 101 |

| Mary Wollstonecraft | Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in. | 101 |
| Alan Sugar | I believe employment regulations for women, whereby the prospective employer is not able to inquire about the interviewee's status regarding children, childcare, or indeed their intention of becoming a parent, are counterproductive. | 101 |
| Angela Merkel | I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education. | 101 |
| Angelina Grimke | Women ought to feel a peculiar sympathy in the colored man's wrong, for, like him, she has been accused of mental inferiority, and denied the privileges of a liberal education. | 101 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women's empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all. | 101 |
| Bessie Coleman | I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly. | 101 |

| Bill Nighy | I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain. | 101 |
| Camille Paglia | Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention. | 101 |
| Carol Gilligan | In the different voice of women lies the truth of an ethic of care, the tie between relationship and responsibility, and the origins of aggression in the failure of connection. | 101 |
| Carrie Chapman Catt | In the adjustment of the new order of things, we women demand an equal voice; we shall accept nothing less. | 101 |
| David Spade | There's always something funny about men chasing women. | 101 |
| Debbie Wasserman Schultz | Breast cancer is not just a disease that strikes at women. It strikes at the very heart of who we are as women: how others perceive us, how we perceive ourselves, how we live, work and raise our families-or whether we do these things at all. | 101 |
| Dick Van Dyke | Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them. | 101 |

| Erica Jong | Men and women, women and men. It will never work. | 101 |
| Faye Wattleton | I do not make any apologies for my manner or personality. I come from a long line of very strong, black African-American women who neither bend nor bow. I haven't had very good modeling in submission. | 101 |
| Felicity Huffman | The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies, but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality. | 101 |
| Frances Perkins | The door might not be opened to a woman again for a long, long time, and I had a kind of duty to other women to walk in and sit down on the chair that was offered, and so establish the right of others long hence and far distant in geography to sit in the high seats. | 101 |
| Gloria Allred | There are some people who still feel threatened by strong women. That's their problem. It's not mine. | 101 |
| Gloria Swanson | I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients. | 101 |
| Hanna Rosin | Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others. | 101 |
| Havelock Ellis | 'Charm' - which means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm. | 101 |
| Ines de La Fressange | It is true that in France, women put on less things. If they have a necklace, they don't put on earrings; if they have nail polish, they don't put on all their rings and all their bracelets. | 101 |
| iO Tillett Wright | Along with racial equality and the late bloom of women's rights, future generations will have to explain how, in the past, gays were misunderstood and publicly humiliated for loving each other, and, eventually, how they stood together and conquered stupidity and hypocritical hatred, and fought their way out of marginalization. | 101 |
| Karen Horney | The psychology of women hitherto actually represents a deposit of the desires and disappointments of men. | 101 |
| Katharine Graham | The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex. | 101 |
| Kathleen Sebelius | And under Obamacare, insurance companies can no longer discriminate against women. Before, some wouldn't cover women's most basic needs, like contraception and maternity care, but would still charge us up to 50 percent more than men - for a worse plan. | 101 |
| Kathryn Bigelow | If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies. | 101 |
| Kristin Scott Thomas | There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs. | 101 |
| Livy | They are more than men at the outset of their battles; at the end they are less than the women. | 101 |
| Madeleine Albright | Women can't do everything at the same time, we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments. | 101 |
| Mark Wahlberg | Having two daughters changed my perspective on a lot of things, and I definitely have a newfound respect for women. And I think I finally became a good and real man when I had a daughter. | 101 |
| Mary Shelley | It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with. | 101 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. | 101 |
| Nancy Astor | I married beneath me, all women do. | 101 |
| Naomi Watts | I always love being in the company of women. It's all about good conversation and great wine. | 101 |
| Nathan Fillion | I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes. A very, very clever man, but I want to see the world as Castle sees it - kind of a rose-colored glasses, all the women find him irresistible, all the guys find him super cool and do whatever he says. | 101 |
| Niecy Nash | There's a lot of women out there, some of whom are my age who've never been married and some who have been married and would like to be married again but think their ship has sailed, and I'm like, 'Oh no, honey, let Miss Niecy show you it is never too late for love!' | 101 |
| Olympia Dukakis | When my children were born, I didn't have them baptized because I felt baptism was about erasing Original Sin - something the Church said children got from their mother - and I absolutely refused to believe women carry Original Sin. | 101 |
| Pat Robertson | Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. | 101 |
| Phyllis Schlafly | Putting women in military combat is the cutting edge of the feminist goal to force us into an androgynous society. | 101 |
| Queen Victoria | The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself. | 101 |
| Quentin Bryce | Maternity leave and parental leave is absolutely vital for strengthening families. It's an issue for men and women. | 101 |
| Reese Witherspoon | I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out. | 101 |
| Ruth Bader Ginsburg | Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise. | 101 |
| Sarah Silverman | It fills me with a weird rage to wear shoes that make me not able to walk easily or run if I had to. It feeds into this whole 'war on women' thing in my head. | 101 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple. | 101 |
| Shirley Manson | I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious. | 101 |
| Tina Fey | I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age. | 101 |
| Twiggy | If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a date with Humphrey Bogart and you just absolutely have to wear very high heels. | 101 |
| Vanessa Marcil | I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show. | 101 |
| Vivica A. Fox | I'm so glad that Hollywood and America are embracing women when they get in their 40s instead of putting us out to pasture. | 101 |
| Yulia Tymoshenko | I think women have to change their hairstyle from time to time. | 101 |
| Zainab Salbi | I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others. | 101 |
| Adam Yauch | I want to say a little something that's long overdue, the disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends, I wanna offer my love and respect till the end. | 101 |
| Aisha Tyler | You know, it's about getting out there and having a good time. Not about worrying - all these young books for women are like I'm 29 with a closet full of Prada shoes and I can't get a date. Come on. | 101 |
| Andrea Dworkin | Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not. | 101 |
| Bryce Dallas Howard | Sometimes people are like, 'Do you want to play strong women?' I don't have to play strong women in order to feel like a strong woman myself, but I do feel it's important to play characters that are complex and interesting and believable. | 101 |
| Casey Wilson | Frankly, 'Bride Wars' got made because movies with women need to be about weddings and love. | 101 |
| Cherie Blair | For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well. | 101 |
| Cyndi Lauper | I come from a line of great Sicilian women, and their mentality is to endure and push through to the other side. | 101 |
| Elizabeth Meriwether | If women ran Hollywood, 'The Hollywood Reporter' would have a 'Men in Entertainment' issue every year, and those jerks would have to write something. | 101 |
| Ellen Barkin | I'm not limited by my gender, and I don't think anyone else should be either. Because I am the age I am and I sort of rode the crest of the first profound post-suffragette feminists, I wasn't fighting to burn my bra. Those women fought that fight just seconds before I came into womanhood. | 101 |
| Eve Ensler | Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn't killed our hearts. It's killed men's hearts. It's silenced them; it's cut them off. | 101 |
| Farrah Fawcett | God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met. | 101 |
| Fionnula Flanagan | I think Irish women are strong as horses, incredibly loyal and for the most part, funny, witty, bright and optimistic in the face of devastating reality. | 101 |
| Franklin Pierce Adams | Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. | 101 |
| Fred Ward | I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles. | 101 |
| Gavin DeGraw | Women are the first to jump on what is fashionable. | 101 |
| Gayle Tzemach Lemmon | In Nigeria, along with its West African neighbor Ghana, women are now starting businesses in greater numbers than men. | 101 |
| Geena Davis | We're showing kids a world that is very scantily populated with women and female characters. They should see female characters taking up half the planet, which we do. | 101 |
| George Hamilton | Women don't like men who know they're good looking. They'd much prefer a man who doesn't know he's good looking. | 101 |
| Hayden Christensen | I have two sisters and a mother, obviously, so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it. | 101 |
| Heather Mills | Why are we so obsessed with celebrity culture? We have front-page news about divorces instead of front-page news about global warming, about women being abused, about children being abused. We're going on a downward spiral. | 101 |
| Henry Mayhew | Park women, properly so called, are those degraded creatures, utterly lost to all sense of shame, who wander about the paths most frequented after nightfall in the Parks, and consent to any species of humiliation for the sake of acquiring a few shillings. | 101 |
| Huma Abedin | I remember going with my parents to weddings where the women would arrive covered in black veils, but underneath, they'd be wearing the most exquisite brightly colored Dolce & Gabbana suits. They were like peacocks showing off their tails. | 101 |
| Jackie Joyner-Kersee | We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless. | 101 |
| Katherine Dunn | The intense campaigns against domestic violence, rape, sexual harassment, and inequity in the schools all too often depend on an image of women as weak and victimized. | 101 |
| Lou Doillon | I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. | 101 |
| Naveen Andrews | Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles. | 101 |
| Patricia Ireland | The Violence Against Women Act is so important. It provides money to train the cop on the beat, to train the judges that this is a new day, that we won't tolerate this violence and to know how to deal with it. | 101 |
| Paula Creamer | There is etiquette in golf, but it's not any harder to learn than what to do at a dinner party. Actually, it's probably easier. And these days, there are a lot more women out there than there used to be. It's not like when I was young. I was always the only girl on the range. | 101 |
| Rebel Wilson | I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look, and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and, hopefully, healthy. | 101 |
| Remy de Gourmont | Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last. | 101 |
| Robert Casey | The abortion license has not brought freedom and security to women. Rather, it has ushered in a new era of irresponsibility toward women and children, one that now begins before birth. | 101 |
| Roseanne Barr | The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it. | 101 |
| Shirley Knight | The only people you can really share certain things with in secret are your girlfriends. | 101 |
| Tim Pawlenty | History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice. | 101 |
| Trinny Woodall | I would advise women not to be shy about admitting they've had Botox - it just shows you want to look your best, and there's nothing wrong with that. | 101 |
| Ann Wilson | It was darn nigh impossible for women in rock in the '70s. There wasn't a mold if you were a woman and you were in the entertainment in the '70s. You were probably a disco diva or a folk singer, or simply ornamental. Radio would play only one woman per hour. | 101 |
| Anne-Marie Duff | As I get older, I want to draw on my experience to make roles better. I see that in the older women who inspire me - their experience makes them better. | 101 |
| Carre Otis | Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives. | 101 |
| Dax Shepard | It's ironic, really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell, it's like, 'Well, of course he did.' With me, it should be, 'Oh good, a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I'll get me a Kristen Bell.' But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with. | 101 |
| Elle Macpherson | It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. | 101 |
| Glenn Frey | Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women. | 101 |
| Joe Jamail | I don't think I'm a good ol' boy. Honestly, the last thing I am is a redneck. I like silk sheets, fancy cars, beautiful women, good whiskey. | 101 |
| Joel Kinnaman | In Sweden, there's a lot of talk of gender equality. That discussion isn't as prevalent in the U.S. I feel that successful American women are tougher than Swedish women - they create their space. | 101 |
| Kelly Cutrone | I don't have time to write a mom blog, but I'm not against it. I think it's great when women talk about things. I'm all about female empowerment. There's a lot of lonely, lost moms out there. Moms need to be encouraged to tell the truth. There's a lot of glamour mommy stuff. It's OK to get real. | 101 |
| Kelsey Chow | My 94-year-old grandmother has always been so inspiring to me. She is kind, smart, brave, and independent. After graduating number one in her medical school class at a time when it was extremely rare for women to attend medical school, she worked with the World Health Organization in North Africa to eradicate tuberculosis. | 101 |
| Ken Buck | I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had. | 101 |
| Lianne La Havas | I love the music of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu and more recently the music of Laura Marling. All these women share a strength and a wisdom in their voices and music that really makes me want to make music and sing. | 101 |
| Louise Brown | The young women in my classes are feisty and clever and believe, often with the passion of youthful optimism, that feminism is a battle already won. I worry for them - and for my daughters, too. | 101 |
| Louise Slaughter | For most women, including women who want to have children, contraception is not an option; it is a basic health care necessity. | 101 |
| Lisa Gardner | It's kind of the yin and yang that fascinate me. That for all the evil men do, there are also people who work obnoxiously long hours and sacrifice their personal lives because it is a calling - if they don't keep our streets safe, if they aren't there to advocate for and save beaten women and children and murder victims, who will? | 101 |
| Marie Osmond | Women are so strong and knowledgeable. You know, instead of competing with each other, I would love to complete each other. Take away that wall of competition and say, 'Hey, let's just all get together and help each other be brilliant.' | 101 |
| Michael Kors | I grew up surrounded by these tough, ballsy, strong women. They were also adoring women, but they were the kind of women who would argue over what kind of pants you were wearing or the color of your nail polish. | 101 |
| Mike Honda | It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work. | 101 |
| Nancy Keenan | On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America - and our one million member activists - I am honored to be here to talk to you about what's at stake for women in 2012. I am proud to say that the Democratic Party believes that women have the right to choose a safe, legal abortion with dignity and privacy. | 101 |
| Niccolo Paganini | I am not handsome, but when women hear me play, they come crawling to my feet. | 101 |
| Patrick Kavanagh | Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static. | 101 |
| Peter Beard | The last thing left in nature is the beauty of women. | 101 |
| Peter Lindbergh | Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century. | 101 |
| Rachel Roy | At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy. | 101 |
| Richard Carmona | Trying to block women from getting access to contraception or defunding Planned Parenthood is completely nonsensical from a policy standpoint. | 101 |
| Robin Hayes | As we look forward to freedom, the shining city on the hill and the best days of America lying ahead, it is the men and women in uniform who protect, defend and make us proud to whom we should look and give thanks every night. | 101 |
| Sarah Kay | Women don't have to be defined by others. We have the power to define ourselves: by telling our own stories, in our own words, with our own voices. | 101 |
| St. Vincent | I'm supportive of women, absolutely, and it's so gratifying to have girls come up and say, 'I'm really inspired by your guitar playing.' I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear. | 101 |
| Stephen Moyer | I often think a lot of women's attraction to vampires is based on the fact that vampires come from centuries ago, from eras of chivalry and courtly virtues. | 101 |
| Steve Buyer | Twenty-five million veterans are living among us today. These men and women selflessly set aside their civilian lives to put on the uniform and serve us. | 101 |
| Suzanne Fields | Fully 57 percent of American college students are women. Life insurance companies sell more policies to women than to men. As women continue to draw on experience and education, they're accelerating their numbers in upper management, too. | 101 |
| Taslima Nasrin | I write against the religion because if women want to live like human beings, they will have to live outside the religion and Islamic law. | 101 |
| Taye Diggs | I've always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence - qualities older women possess. They've been on the Earth a little longer. They're more seasoned. They don't play games. They know what they want, and they're not afraid to tell you. | 101 |
| Tug McGraw | Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste. | 101 |
| Wayne Allard | Our men and women in our armed forces are the real heroes in this conflict. | 101 |
| Antonia Fraser | Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid. | 101 |
| Carol P. Christ | Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants. | 101 |
| Clara Zetkin | What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women. | 101 |
| Deborah Kerr | Personally, I think if a women hasn't met the right man by the time she's 24, she may be lucky. | 101 |
| Gary Becker | Why in almost all societies have married women specialized in bearing and rearing children and in certain agricultural activities, whereas married men have done most of the fighting and market work? | 101 |
| Georgette Mosbacher | Women must learn to find self-worth within themselves, not through others. It is important to carve out a place just for you. | 101 |
| Hugo Claus | In spring they lie flat at the first warmth, they ruin my summer and in autumn they smell of women. | 101 |
| Jane Campion | Women often postpone their lives, thinking that if they're not with a partner then it doesn't really count. They're still searching for their prince, in a way. And as much as we don't discuss that, because it's too embarrassing and too sad, I think it really does exist. | 101 |
| Jessica Savitch | Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top. | 101 |
| John Boyle O'Reilly | The success of the suffrage movement would injure women spiritually and intellectually, for they would be assuming a burden though they knew themselves unable to bear it. It is the sediment, not the wave, of a sex. It is the antithesis of that highest and sweetest mystery - conviction by submission, and conquest by sacrifice. | 101 |
| Joyce Banda | Most African women are taught to endure abusive marriages. They say endurance means a good wife but most women endure abusive relationship because they are not empowered economically; they depend on their husbands. | 101 |
| Leah Remini | There's a lot involved in going to the bathroom for women. | 101 |
| Mario Lopez | There's three things men always talk about - women, sports, and cars. | 101 |
| Pat Cash | Women's tennis is two sets of rubbish that lasts only half an hour. | 101 |
| Rita Coolidge | The month of September is Women in Jazz, so I'm doing jazz there in September. I'm in for the duration. | 101 |
| Robert Farrar Capon | Older women are like aging strudels - the crust may not be so lovely, but the filling has come at last into its own. | 101 |
| Ruth Handler | They were using the dolls to project their dreams of their own futures as adult women. | 101 |
| Sophie Tucker | From birth to age 18 a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35 she needs good looks. From 35 to 55 she needs a good personality. From 55 on, she needs good cash. | 101 |
| Stephanie Mills | Most women don't like good men. They say they want a good buy, but most women always wind up with the bad boy. | 101 |
| Tadashi Shoji | Anyone can wear my dresses. They will look good on any figure, no matter what shape you are. I want to celebrate a woman's inner strength, to inspire real women and make them feel confident and beautiful. | 101 |
| Angela Ruggiero | That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too. | 101 |
| George Raft | Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly. | 101 |
| Georges Pompidou | There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians. | 101 |
| Jeff Greenfield | Men and women in my lifetime have died fighting for the right to vote: people like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 during the Selma march for voting rights. | 101 |
| Mamie Gummer | My favorite charity is the Women's Refugee Commission and the Nomi network. | 101 |
| Millicent Fawcett | A large part of the present anxiety to improve the education of girls and women is also due to the conviction that the political disabilities of women will not be maintained. | 101 |
| Morning Star | It is only when the hearts of the Women are in the mud, that the People are destroyed. | 101 |
| Rooney Mara | There's a certain way people are used to seeing nude women, and that's in a submissive, coy pose, not looking at the camera. And in this poster, I'm looking dead into the camera with no expression on my face. I think it freaks a lot of people out. | 101 |
| Rudolph Valentino | To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse. | 101 |
| Sara Teasdale | A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring. | 101 |
| Saxby Chambliss | The backbone of our nation's domestic defense against terrorist attacks will continue to be the men and women in local law enforcement and emergency services. | 101 |
| Andrej Pejic | In this society, if a man is called a woman, that's the biggest insult he could get. Is that because women are considered something less? | 101 |
| Anita Borg | Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand. | 101 |
| Ann Aguirre | Too often, women are portrayed in two ways: as prizes to be won by men or as damsels in distress. | 101 |
| Crystal Eastman | Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots. | 101 |
| Daphne du Maurier | Women want love to be a novel, men a short story. | 101 |
| Joe Baca | As costly as it was in the lives of our men and women in uniform, in military assets, and in esteem and pride, Pearl Harbor was a watershed moment for America. | 101 |
| Larry Miller | Women say they have sexual thoughts too. They have no idea. It's the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it. If they knew what we were really thinking, they'd never stop slapping us. | 101 |
| Mustafa Akyol | For the jihadists, Muslim women who embrace Western mores, and wear tight jeans or mini skirts, are hated symbols of corruption that need to be eradicated. For the ideological mentors of Breivik, a similar disturbance comes from the burqa, which is banned in France and Belgium, partly thanks to their efforts. | 101 |
| Sister Souljah | I think that the path that I took was normal in the American society where young women and men are not trained as to how to make the transition from being a girl to being a woman, from being a boy to being a man. And so I think that most young people in America live by trial and error, and not by parental instruction, community guidance. | 101 |
| Allen Boyd | America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed. | 101 |
| Anna Garlin Spencer | Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. | 101 |
| Charles Fourier | The extension of women's rights is the basic principle of all social progress. | 101 |
| Joan Armatrading | You don't have to be rich and famous. You just have to be an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things. I'd like more people to know that it's there. Women's achievements still aren't recognised enough in many areas. | 101 |
| Simin Daneshvar | I wish the world was run by women. Women who have given birth and know the value of their creation. | 101 |
| Alex Comfort | A women's greatest asset is her beauty. | 101 |
| Jill Clayburgh | What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older. | 101 |
| Jane Harman | We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men. | 101 |
| Jennifer Chiaverini | When I was working on my first novel, 'The Quilter's Apprentice,' I knew I wanted to write about friendship, especially women's friendship and how women use friendship to sustain themselves and nurture each other. | 101 |
| Margaret Hamburg | I don't want to over generalize, but I believe that women are typically drawn to leadership styles that focus on consensus building, effective listening and working in teams. That's certainly been my leadership style, and I think it's been very successful. | 101 |
| Marguerite Yourcenar | Men who care passionately for women attach themselves at least as much to the temple and to the accessories of the cult as to their goddess herself. | 101 |
| Jodie Evans | I feel truth, beauty, love, grief, anger, intimacy & alive in my body... Women in the global south live in their bodies much more than we in the global north. Not as distracted by patriarchy's controlling images - They know power is in their bodies. I am deeply grateful for the women who showed me the way home. | 101 |
| Katharine Hepburn | Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. | 102 |
| Oprah Winfrey | Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness. | 102 |
| Adam Levine | Let's face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women. | 102 |
| Alice Paul | There will never be a new world order until women are a part of it. | 102 |
| Angelina Grimke | Can you not see that women could do and would do a hundred times more for the slave, if she were not fettered? | 102 |
| Christian Dior | My dream is to save women from nature. | 102 |
| Darren Aronofsky | I grew up in a family with two very strong women, my mother and my older sister, and they were big influences on my life. | 102 |
| Dee Dee Myers | Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession, education, hours worked, age, marital status, and children, men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions, like nursing, dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap. | 102 |
| Dylan Moran | I think that women just have a primeval instinct to make soup, which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate. | 102 |
| Earl Warren | In mid-life the man wants to see how irresistible he still is to younger women. How they turn their hearts to stone and more or less commit a murder of their marriage I just don't know, but they do. | 102 |
| Emma Stone | I think 'Saturday Night Live', starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner. | 102 |
| Evangeline Lilly | I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word 'feminism' because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don't want to embrace manhood; I want to embrace my womanhood. | 102 |
| Felicity Huffman | Thankfully, President Obama has stood firmly behind women's health care issues by supporting coverage for contraception and reaffirming commitment to organizations like Planned Parenthood. | 102 |
| Frances O'Grady | I suspect there are people in all walks of life who need to be dragged into the 21st century in terms of attitudes towards women. | 102 |
| Frank Miller | Think of me as the weathered sheriff coming back into Dodge 'cause the youngsters are shooting up the church and scaring the horses and not doing right by the women. | 102 |
| Geoffrey Chaucer | Women desire six things: They want their husbands to be brave, wise, rich, generous, obedient to wife, and lively in bed. | 102 |
| Gloria Allred | I do believe that, under the law, under the Constitution of the United States, and under our public policy, that women deserve and should have a right to enjoy equal employment opportunity. | 102 |
| Helen Mirren | The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It's a world that needs women. | 102 |
| Hugh Grant | Women are frightening. If you get to 41 as a man, you're quite battle-scarred. | 102 |
| Ian K. Smith | Men, in fact, are excited and looking forward to settling down and having families and being true partners with women in relationships that are full of excitement, unpredictability, adventure, and loyalty. | 102 |
| John Lewis | When growing up, I saw segregation. I saw racial discrimination. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men. White women, colored women. White waiting. And I didn't like it. | 102 |
| Kate Winslet | I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city, and I think, 'I should make more of an effort. I should look like that.' But then I think, 'They can't be happy in those heels.' | 102 |
| Kelly Osbourne | Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people. | 102 |
| Kevin James | I've always been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it? | 102 |
| Leland Stanford | A man's sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness. | 102 |
| Lucretia Mott | Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. | 102 |
| Mary Shelley | I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. | 102 |
| Miuccia Prada | Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer. | 102 |
| Molly Ivins | As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office. | 102 |
| Natalie Dormer | Famously, Anne Boleyn was not a beauty: she was more about quirkiness and an innate sensuality, and there are a lot of references to her eyes. Which sends out a great message for women, because life is not about the aesthetic all the time. | 102 |
| Natalie Portman | Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women. | 102 |
| Norman Mailer | I'm hostile to men, I'm hostile to women, I'm hostile to cats, to poor cockroaches, I'm afraid of horses. | 102 |
| Olivia Munn | I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy. | 102 |
| Olympia Dukakis | I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her. | 102 |
| Phylicia Rashad | Any time women come together with a collective intention, it's a powerful thing. Whether it's sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens. | 102 |
| Phyllis Schlafly | Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women. | 102 |
| Rachel Nichols | I love the action that I'm able to do. I grew up in Maine, outdoors and playing with the boys and shooting skeet. I have my girly side, too. But, I do like playing the strong female roles, especially now with something as simple as Twitter, where you've got young women following you. | 102 |
| Robert Winston | Women of child-bearing age steadily run out of eggs by the continuous process of cell death. While reading a copy of the 'Guardian' carefully from cover to cover, a normal woman will have lost on average two eggs - while, typically, a normal man will have made 70,000 new sperm. | 102 |
| Russell Brand | People have always said, are you gay? I've had a lot of that. But it's just not in me. I really like women a lot; I'm repulsed by men sexually. | 102 |
| Russell Simmons | My little girls are the most beautiful women in the world. I am a lucky, lucky man. I will spend every day making sure that they know this. | 102 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | We've got to get women to sit at the table. | 102 |
| Sojourner Truth | If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it. | 102 |
| Timothy Leary | Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. | 102 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | One cannot deny the great role women have played in the world community. My flight was yet another impetus to continue this female contribution. | 102 |
| Vanessa Marcil | What makes a woman beautiful is her loyalty to and her friendships with other women, and her honesty with men. | 102 |
| Wangari Maathai | African women in general need to know that it's OK for them to be the way they are - to see the way they are as a strength, and to be liberated from fear and from silence. | 102 |
| Wesley Snipes | I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction. | 102 |
| Yul Brynner | Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb. | 102 |
| Amber Heard | Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet. | 102 |
| Bill Frist | The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect. | 102 |
| Bipasha Basu | I want to tell women that you need to love yourself and make yourself a priority. It's only when you are happy yourself, can you make everyone else around you happy. I am still a dreamer and still believe in fairy tales, but there is only that much one should give another person. You need to keep something for yourself. | 102 |
| Charles V | I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. | 102 |
| Charlotte Rampling | French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that. | 102 |
| Corita Kent | Women's liberation is the liberation of the feminine in the man and the masculine in the woman. | 102 |
| Eddie Bernice Johnson | All issues are women's issues - and there are several that are just women's business. | 102 |
| Eva Herzigova | Italian men do appreciate beautiful women. They're not afraid of the beauty, which is nice. | 102 |
| George Hamilton | A world-class playboy once told me that the key to mesmerising women is to listen to them and look deeply into their eyes. | 102 |
| Giuliana Rancic | I started realizing I could be an example for women to not just be aware of breast cancer but to act on it, to make an appointment, to give themselves an exam. | 102 |
| Grover Cleveland | Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours. | 102 |
| Jenny McCarthy | The one thing I like about 'Playboy' is they don't have the anorexic look. The women are voluptuous. So I didn't really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up. | 102 |
| Joan Baez | Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry. | 102 |
| John Gray | When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom. | 102 |
| Laura Kightlinger | I really detest movies like 'Indecent Proposal' and 'Pretty Woman' because they send a message to women that sleeping with a rich man is the ultimate goal and really that's such a small part of it. | 102 |
| Lou Diamond Phillips | Although a lot of pain for a little screen time; Shaving legs, waxing eyebrows, high heels, trying to put on a bra, losing weight because women's clothes are SO revealing - Ladies you have my respect. | 102 |
| Maria Shriver | Women somehow get portrayed as one type. You're either a feminist or you're not. You're a working woman or you're not. I'm raising two girls, and I say to them, 'I need you to be strong and soft. You can be smart and beautiful... You can be all of these things.' | 102 |
| Marlon Wayans | There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be. | 102 |
| Mika Brzezinski | For many women, going back to work a few months after having a baby is overwhelming and unmanageable. As strange as it may seem, things get even more difficult for a working mom after the second and third baby arrive. By that time, the romance of being a modern 'superwoman' wears off and reality sets in. | 102 |
| Nadine Velazquez | Things aren't always clear at the beginning of a relationship. Be up-front. Don't play on her confusion or vulnerability. Women want and appreciate clarity. | 102 |
| Stacy Schiff | Here you have an incredibly ambitious, accomplished woman who comes up against some of the same problems that women in power come up against today. Cleopatra plays an oddly pivotal role in world history as well; in her lifetime, Alexandria is the center of the universe, Rome is still a backwater. | 102 |
| Susan Sarandon | Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us? | 102 |
| Tracy McMillan | Women with low self-esteem love bad boys. Women who have work to do love bad boys. Women who love themselves love good men. | 102 |
| Anna Held | A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet. | 102 |
| Bill Cunningham | I don't pay attention to celebrities. I don't photograph them. They don't dress so... interestingly. They have stylists. I prefer real women who have their own taste. | 102 |
| Guy de Maupassant | The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius. | 102 |
| Helena Rubinstein | There are no ugly women, only lazy ones. | 102 |
| Jackie Speier | Since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, the gap between men and women's earnings has narrowed by less than a half-cent per year. At this rate, American women will have to wait until 2062 to bring home the same salary as their male counterparts. | 102 |
| Jamie Foxx | It's so easy to play us guys that I hate to give away secrets to women because I know they'll use them. But OK, if you just simply don't give a guy the time of day, every once in awhile, it just makes us more like 'What do we do?' Men are developed to conquer. When we can't seem to conquer, we stay in it no matter what. | 102 |
| Laurie Holden | I think women are amazing and women's friendships are like a sisterhood and we should see more of it in television and film. | 102 |
| Lisa Bonet | We're getting ready to take over the world. My group of girlfriends - we're renegades. | 102 |
| Lisa See | I think all women have a friend who at some point dumped them or betrayed them or deeply disappointed them. And at the same time all women have a friend who they dumped or betrayed or hurt in some way. That's universal in women's friendships. | 102 |
| Michael Burgess | The Leadership Training Institute of America trains and equips young men and women to be leaders with high standards of personal morality and integrity. | 102 |
| Prabal Gurung | There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs. | 102 |
| Richard Armour | Until Eve arrived, this was a man's world. | 102 |
| Robin Hayes | Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life. | 102 |
| Taslima Nasrin | Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no! | 102 |
| Antonia Fraser | My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor. | 102 |
| Delphine de Girardin | Proof that they do not understand the republic is that in their fine promises for universal suffrage, they forgot women. | 102 |
| Ellen Johnson Sirleaf | Women work harder. And women are more honest; they have less reasons to be corrupt. | 102 |
| Errol Flynn | I like my whisky old and my women young. | 102 |
| Jane Campion | Women today are dealing with both their independence and also the fact that their lives are built around finding and satisfying the romantic models we grew up with. | 102 |
| Karen McDougal | I love to wear lingerie. The problem is that men always rip it off too quickly. When women are dolled up in lingerie they feel sexy. So let us wear it for five minutes. | 102 |
| Larry Craig | Breast cancer deaths in America have been declining for more than a decade. Much of that success is due to early detection and better treatments for women. I strongly encourage women to get a mammogram. | 102 |
| Regina King | My mother was a single mom, and most of the women I know are strong. | 102 |
| Thomas Chandler Haliburton | A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love. | 102 |
| Christiane Nusslein-Volhard | In mathematics and science, there is no difference in the intelligence of men and women. The difference in genes between men and women is simply the Y chromosome, which has nothing to do with intelligence. | 102 |
| Jordana Brewster | Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl. | 102 |
| Rachel True | Editing is a natural extension of the collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning. | 102 |
| Rudolph Valentino | Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams. | 102 |
| Ann Robinson | The results of this survey are shocking and should be a wake-up call to men and women that drinking and smoking too much not only gives you a bad headache in the morning but can affect your ability to start a family. | 102 |
| Jenny Shipley | NGOs have a significant role to play, alongside governments, in improving the status of women. | 102 |
| Joe Barton | The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields. | 102 |
| Marion Jones | A lot of women say they love being pregnant, but I wasn't such a big fan. | 102 |
| Manal al-Sharif | When women break that taboo and they're not afraid to drive that car by herself - that's it. Now she has the guts to speak up for herself and take action. | 102 |
| Marianne Vos | I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles. | 102 |
| Bernie Sanders | Finally, let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win. | 103 |
| George Santayana | When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different. | 103 |
| Gloria Steinem | The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts. | 103 |
| Stephen Bannon | That's one of the unintended consequences of the women's liberation movement - that, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be feminine, they would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. | 103 |
| Angelina Jolie | I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive. | 103 |
| David Ogilvy | Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton | We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. | 103 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. | 103 |
| Alice Paul | Mr. President how long must women wait to get their liberty? Let us have the rights we deserve. | 103 |
| Alphonse Karr | If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious. | 103 |
| Beth Ditto | As a kid, I was always mad - just noticing the women at Thanksgiving, running around the kitchen, while the men were watching football. For one, I don't want to cook, and for two, I hate football. I was stuck in the middle. | 103 |
| Betsey Johnson | With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere you turn there is a mother, daughter, sister, or friend who has been affected by breast cancer. | 103 |
| Bonnie Raitt | I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool. | 103 |
| CeeLo Green | Women are our most miraculous muse, an enchanted intangibility that encourages all art. | 103 |
| Charlotte Perkins Gilman | The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses. | 103 |
| Chris Brown | I'm 18 in this album. I'm not losing fans, and I'm not disrepecting women, but you reach the maturity of taking it to the next level with a girl. It was only necessary for me to have at least one song like that. | 103 |
| Dave Attell | You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike. | 103 |
| David Wilkerson | The Teen Challenge ministry was born out of those humble early days of ministry. It now includes over 500 drug and alcohol rehab centers around the world, even in Muslim countries. These include homes for girls and women addicts and alcoholics, all which are reaching many. | 103 |
| Dee Dee Myers | Research confirms that both Republican and Democratic women are more likely than their male counterparts to initiate and fight for bills that champion social justice, protect the environment, advocate for families, and promote nonviolent conflict resolution. | 103 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. | 103 |
| Estelle | I come from a family of well-endowed booty women. | 103 |
| Florence King | The witty woman is a tragic figure in American life. Wit destroys eroticism and eroticism destroys wit, so women must choose between taking lovers and taking no prisoners. | 103 |
| Garry Kasparov | Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters. | 103 |
| Germaine Greer | All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women. | 103 |
| Ginger Rogers | You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen. | 103 |
| Ginni Rometty | Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age - it is really broad. | 103 |
| Giuseppe Garibaldi | You, too, women, cast away all the cowards from your embraces; they will give you only cowards for children, and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must bear children who are noble and brave. | 103 |
| Gloria Allred | I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do. | 103 |
| Hedy Lamarr | I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me. | 103 |
| Hill Harper | Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship. | 103 |
| Ian Fleming | As a result of 50 years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males. Pansies of both sexes were everywhere, not yet completely homosexual, but confused not knowing what they were. The result was a herd of unhappy sexual misfits... the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied. | 103 |
| Iris Chang | The worst... was what the Pakistani soldiers did to the Bengali women after their failed rebellion. | 103 |
| Isabel Allende | Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country. | 103 |
| Karen DeCrow | In my opinion, the battles over birth control and Planned Parenthood are primarily neither political nor religious. This is an issue of equality for women. This is an issue of women's rights: Planned Parenthood is the most important private provider of reproductive health care for women in the United States. | 103 |
| Karen Horney | When one begins, as I did, to analyze men after a fairly long experience of analyzing women, one receives a most surprising impression of the intensity of this envy of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, as well as of breasts and of the act of suckling. | 103 |
| Kate Winslet | I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that. | 103 |
| Kathleen Hanna | There's just as many different kinds of feminism as there are women in the world. | 103 |
| Lawrence Durrell | The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know. | 103 |
| Lucy Stone | I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned. | 103 |
| Madame de Stael | Men err from selfishness; women because they are weak. | 103 |
| Megan Fox | To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. | 103 |
| Mel Gibson | After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate. | 103 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation. | 103 |
| Nina Garcia | If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish, they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, original. They were not following the trends. | 103 |
| Nora Ephron | The desire to get married, which - I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again. | 103 |
| Phyllis Schlafly | Much of the demand for women in combat comes from female officers who are eager for medals and promotions. | 103 |
| Roger Ebert | Lebanon was at one time known as a nation that rose above sectarian hatred; Beirut was known as the Paris of the Middle East. All of that was blown apart by senseless religious wars, financed and exploited in part by those who sought power and wealth. If women had been in charge, would they have been more sensible? It's a theory. | 103 |
| Scott Adams | You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles. | 103 |
| Stacy London | Self-esteem doesn't come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It's a missed opportunity when women say they don't have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves. | 103 |
| Tim Allen | Women are like cars: we all want a Ferrari, sometimes want a pickup truck, and end up with a station wagon. | 103 |
| Tyra Banks | The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women. | 103 |
| Victoria Woodhull | Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped. | 103 |
| Warren Farrell | I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize. | 103 |
| William Lyon Mackenzie King | Temperance is essential, if the services of men and women are to be employed to the best and most useful effect according, to the physical capacity and ability of each. Nothing less will assure a total effort. | 103 |
| Ann Richards | Well, you know my number one cause has always been that women's reproductive health needs to be protected. | 103 |
| Annie Lennox | I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women. | 103 |
| Beverly Sills | There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm. | 103 |
| Camila Alves | Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality. I love watching women and discovering all the ways each person uses a color, pattern, a style, even a lipstick color. I'm a people watcher. | 103 |
| Catherine Zeta-Jones | I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as if you don't give a - you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself. | 103 |
| Claire Denis | Often, women as little girls are sent off on a track for them to live a perfect life and be a perfect woman. Not for boys, who can be themselves with their mood and their temper. | 103 |
| Drew Gilpin Faust | When I was growing up in Virginia, the Civil War was presented to me as glorious with dramatic courage and military honor. Later, I realized how death was central to the reality. It was at the core of women's lives. It's what they talked about most. | 103 |
| Ellen Pompeo | Women don't take care of themselves because they take care of everybody else. | 103 |
| Emma Bonino | Women are clear-headed, they are more creative and for this reason, sometimes, also more fragile. | 103 |
| Garrett Hedlund | I'm not good at chatting right away. Women have to be very patient with me, I suppose. | 103 |
| Kenny Loggins | Women are just beginning to see that; there's something about being a woman that's innately different from being a man. I love what I'm seeing take place and I know Julia has so much to offer. | 103 |
| Madeleine M. Kunin | It's time for women to wake up, to use the power of the vote, to honor the suffragists who chained themselves to the White House fence so that women could vote. | 103 |
| Martha Plimpton | It's long been accepted as fact that the availability of family planning services saves lives. Where women have access to these services, children and families are healthier, and society at large benefits. | 103 |
| Martin O'Malley | If there is a thread that unites all of our work, whether it's in Iowa or whether it's in Maryland or whether it's among our young men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, I believe that it's the thread of human dignity. | 103 |
| Mickey Rooney | I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women. | 103 |
| Moby | In some of the greatest recordings ever made, the performance is a part of the recording. Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35' is all about the esthetic of that performance. You can hear the room. | 103 |
| Ninon de L'Enclos | It is strange that modesty is the rule for women when what they most value in men is boldness. | 103 |
| Sloane Crosley | In New York, if you weigh under 200 pounds and decline so much as a cookie at a co-worker's party, women will flock to your side, assuring you of your appealing physique. This is how skittish we are about the dangers of anorexia and the pressures of body image. | 103 |
| Sue Wicks | I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player. | 103 |
| Andrew Cohen | It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women's value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance. | 103 |
| Bill Blass | Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette. | 103 |
| Carmen Dell'Orefice | I was the Kate Moss of my day, atypical of what the public wanted, which was Brigitte Bardot. I was always tall, skinny and angular. But now, society has bought 55 years of my marketing 'Carmen,' and I'm considered beautiful. I hope that empowers older women. | 103 |
| Jenni Rivera | I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other women. | 103 |
| Julia Stiles | I think women get caught up too much in having a plan - 'I'm going to get married at this age; I'm going to have a kid at this age' - and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that. | 103 |
| Julie Burchill | The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact. | 103 |
| Keith Sweat | Don't get caught up in the 'look' thing. Sometimes, we as men and women, the first thing that attracts us to someone is their physical appearance, and that's not always a good thing because what's good on the outside is not always good on the inside. | 103 |
| Koren Zailckas | I do think anger is so difficult for women. Girls think it undermines their femininity; it's not very ladylike. | 103 |
| LisaRaye McCoy-Misick | I'm one of those women who's not to be messed with. I'm very opinionated and boisterous at times. I'm also kind and humble. I know when to fold and when to hold, and that's important. If my edge scares you, then you have a choice to remove yourself. | 103 |
| Lisa See | It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing. | 103 |
| Mary Astell | Women are not so well united as to form an Insurrection. They are for the most part wise enough to love their Chains, and to discern how becomingly they fit. | 103 |
| Michael Kors | Because of what's going on with the economy, I think women are realizing that maybe they don't need a closet full of clothes. They just need the right clothes. | 103 |
| Ronald Fisher | I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences. | 103 |
| Wendy Liebman | I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control. | 103 |
| Alice Hoffman | Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold. | 103 |
| Charles M. Blow | My father was short for a man, with a child's plaything for a name - Spinner. He had flawless dark brown skin and a head full of big, wet-looking curls, black as oil. And he had the smile of a scoundrel - the kind of smile that disarmed men and undressed women. | 103 |
| Deborah Tannen | Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women. | 103 |
| Jessica White | Women, we are so strong! It took me so long to figure that out, but I realized just how strong a woman is. | 103 |
| Madhuri Dixit | I've been a staunch advocate of women's empowerment, and I've worked hard throughout my career to advance the cause. It is heartening to see that gender equality is really becoming more of a reality. There is still much more to be done, and I'm confident that, by working together, we can empower women worldwide. | 103 |
| Theodor Reik | Women in general want to be loved for what they are and men for what they accomplish. | 103 |
| Jonny Greenwood | No, I am not interested in women or sex or anything. | 103 |
| Siouxsie Sioux | People forget the punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive. | 103 |
| Arthur Golden | Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one. | 103 |
| Chauncey Depew | A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are. | 103 |
| Jenny Shipley | Equality and development will not be achieved however if peace is not understood from women's' point of view. | 103 |
| Stanley Baldwin | The bomber will always get through. The only defense is in offense, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly that the enemy if you want to save yourselves. | 103 |
| Judith Light | Women don't realize how powerful they are. | 103 |
| Simone Schwarz-Bart | Men are strong, women are smart, but no matter how smart, their bellies are always there to betray women and that's their downfall. | 103 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. | 104 |
| Jennie Finch | Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball. It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come. | 104 |
| Oscar Wilde | Women are made to be loved, not understood. | 104 |
| Elie Wiesel | Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe. | 104 |
| Hillary Clinton | If a country doesn't recognize minority rights and human rights, including women's rights, you will not have the kind of stability and prosperity that is possible. | 104 |
| Vivienne Westwood | I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly. | 104 |
| Jane Austen | There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them. | 104 |
| Marie Curie | I have frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy. | 104 |
| Al Green | I didn't have a mother; I had a mama. I measure other women by the stature of my mama. | 104 |
| Alice Paul | This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different. | 104 |
| America Ferrera | I think Hispanic women are beautiful with their curves. I'm not sure who feels that way in Hollywood. I was never told to lose 50 pounds. If they think that they just don't bother with you. You just don't get the role and you never know why. That's still better than physically harming yourself and becoming unhealthy just to star in a movie. | 104 |
| Ann Coulter | It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted. | 104 |
| B. B. King | I don't care for the music when they're talking bad about women because I think women are God's greatest gift to the planet - I just like music. | 104 |
| Barbara Mikulski | We, the women of the Senate, with President Obama by our side, will keep fighting - our shoulders square, our lipstick on - because you deserve equal pay for your hard work. | 104 |
| Betty White | I think older women still have a full life. | 104 |
| Chief Seattle | Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been. | 104 |
| Coretta Scott King | Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul. | 104 |
| Courtney Love | I'll always prefer to play with women and hang out with women, and I'll always be a feminist. | 104 |
| Dee Dee Myers | As women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes. | 104 |
| Desiderius Erasmus | Women, can't live with them, can't live without them. | 104 |
| Elayne Boosler | When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. | 104 |
| Ellsworth Kelly | I said, I don't want to paint things like Picasso's women and Matisse's odalisques lying on couches with pillows. I don't want to paint people. I want to paint something I have never seen before. I don't want to make what I'm looking at. I want the fragments. | 104 |
| Emma Goldman | The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul. | 104 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way. | 104 |
| Evita Peron | I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with. | 104 |
| Florence Kelley | This position is untenable, and there can be no pause in the agitation for full political power and responsibility until these are granted to all the women of the nation. | 104 |
| Francesca Annis | Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women. | 104 |
| Helen Fisher | Men want to think women don't cheat, and women want men to think they don't cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other. | 104 |
| Helmut Newton | The whole series is black-and-white, so when I went to shoot one of the women I only had black-and-white film with me. She had reddish hair and was a very pretty girl, a nice girl. | 104 |
| Ian Fleming | Older women are best, because they always think they may be doing it for the last time. | 104 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Although we have, in theory, abolished human slavery, recognized women's rights, and stopped child labor, we continue to enslave other species who, if we simply pay attention, show quite clearly that they experience parental love, pain, and the desire for freedom, just as we do. | 104 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | Here's the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it's not just about how we look, it's about who we are. And I am going to tell you like this, 'If you can't love me with short hair, and you telling me I got to have long hair to be loved, guess what, I ain't the one for you.' | 104 |
| Karl Lagerfeld | No one wants to see curvy women. | 104 |
| Kerry Washington | The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river. | 104 |
| Louisa May Alcott | Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling. | 104 |
| Lucy Stone | Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations. | 104 |
| Michael Hutchence | Women are incredible in groups together. Terrifying. Men have nothing on them. | 104 |
| Mindy Kaling | When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome. | 104 |
| O. Henry | If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry. | 104 |
| Pat Robertson | Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. | 104 |
| Patricia Heaton | Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing. | 104 |
| Ruth Bader Ginsburg | My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S. | 104 |
| Sofia Vergara | I guess at the end of the day, all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness. | 104 |
| Steven Pressfield | As powerful as is our soul's call, so potent are the forces of Resistance arrayed against it. We're not alone if we've been mowed down by Resistance; millions of good men and women have bitten the dust before us. | 104 |
| Twiggy | The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought. | 104 |
| Tyler Perry | When black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move Heaven and Earth. | 104 |
| Wangari Maathai | Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve. | 104 |
| Warren Farrell | For blacks in our society, victimization may be a true issue. But it isn't a true issue for women. Neither men nor women are victimized. The true issue, that I try to point out, is that both sexes suffer restricted roles. | 104 |
| Wilson Mizner | The most efficient water power in the world - women's tears. | 104 |
| Zaha Hadid | Like men, women have to be diligent and work hard. | 104 |
| Andrea Dworkin | While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact. | 104 |
| Annie Lennox | Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries. | 104 |
| Brooke Burke | I think with motherhood and child-rearing in general, everyone's going to tell you how to do it and why. I've always said to other mothers and women when they've asked me, that you have to find your own way and find out what works for your family, at all costs. | 104 |
| Chelsea Clinton | We need women who are at the head of a boardroom, like at the head of the White House, at the head of kind of major scientific enterprises so that little girls everywhere can then think, you know what? I can do that, I want to do that, I will do that. | 104 |
| Ellen Barkin | Men who love their mothers treat women wonderfully. And they have enormous respect for women. | 104 |
| Grace Kelly | Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family. | 104 |
| Ha-Joon Chang | By liberating women from household work and helping to abolish professions such as domestic service, the washing machine and other household goods completely revolutionised the structure of society. | 104 |
| Jack Kemp | There's no limit to what free men and free women in a free market with free enterprise can accomplish when people are free to follow their dream. | 104 |
| Liya Kebede | Investing in women's lives is an investment in sustainable development, in human rights, in future generations - and consequently in our own long-term national interests. | 104 |
| Patricia Ireland | Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision, put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream. | 104 |
| Rachel Cusk | As it stands, motherhood is a sort of wilderness through which each woman hacks her way, part martyr, part pioneer; a turn of events from which some women derive feelings of heroism, while others experience a sense of exile from the world they knew. | 104 |
| Robert Casey | The advocates of abortion on demand falsely assume two things: that women must suffer if the lives of unborn children are legally protected; and that women can only attain equality by having the legal option of destroying their innocent offspring in the womb. | 104 |
| Tammy Bruce | The liberal feminist movement never imagined that women would take seriously the encouragement to become our own heroes and claim life for ourselves, on our terms, no matter who we are. Pro-choice and pro-life, Christian and not, poor and rich, black, white, gay and straight. It is a dream we all hold dear, and it's called the Tea Party. | 104 |
| Christine Baranski | I always say God should have given women one extra decade at least, especially if you want a family. You're trying to pack a lot in. | 104 |
| Gina Barreca | Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate. | 104 |
| Julie Burchill | Lots of women love to accuse men of being immature when the fellow in question displays a reluctance to 'commit.' | 104 |
| Mary Astell | If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves? | 104 |
| Meghan Trainor | I just think women should love themselves more than they do. Because I think - with all the social media stuff - we look at ourselves too much, and we just destroy ourselves when we're way cooler than we know. | 104 |
| Steve Buyer | Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans. | 104 |
| Errol Flynn | Women won't let me stay single and I won't let me stay married. | 104 |
| Jenny Shipley | Ten years ago in Nairobi we said that the participation of women in the decision-making and appraisal processes of the United Nations was essential if the organization was to effectively serve women's interests. | 104 |
| Marguerite Duras | The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it - can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it. | 104 |
| Frank Sinatra | I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest. | 105 |
| Katharine Hepburn | I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex. | 105 |
| Robin Williams | If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days. | 105 |
| Susan B. Anthony | Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done. | 105 |
| P. T. Barnum | Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. | 105 |
| Steve Harvey | The problem is, women have stopped setting the bar high. | 105 |
| Andie MacDowell | I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men. | 105 |
| Anna Quindlen | After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, 'I'm enough.' | 105 |
| Barbra Streisand | A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion. | 105 |
| Betty Friedan | Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves. | 105 |
| Billy Crystal | Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place. | 105 |
| Cara Delevingne | Victoria's Secret is really about celebrating women and what they stand for: the strength. | 105 |
| Christian Dior | Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful but also happier. | 105 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes'; They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.' | 105 |
| David Duchovny | Women's fashion is a subtle form of bondage. It's men's way of binding them. We put them in these tight, high-heeled shoes, we make them wear these tight clothes and we say they look sexy. But they're actually tied up. | 105 |
| Ellen Glasgow | Women like to sit down with trouble - as if it were knitting. | 105 |
| Erica Jong | The problem with feminism in the second wave was that we fought so much among ourselves, and I think we did so much damage to the movement... and I think the next wave, the third wave, is women mentoring younger women and women helping younger women to enter the political process and the writing world. | 105 |
| Henry James | A man who pretends to understand women is bad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals. | 105 |
| Hesiod | Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age. | 105 |
| James A. Michener | For this is the journey that men and women make, to find themselves. If they fail in this, it doesn't matter much else what they find. | 105 |
| Julia Roberts | It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. | 105 |
| Khaled Hosseini | I am always revolted when Islamic leaders, from Afghanistan or elsewhere, deny the very existence of female oppression, avoid the issue by pointing to examples of what they view as Western mistreatment of women, or even worse, justify the oppression of women on the basis of notions derived from Sharia law. | 105 |
| Larry David | Women love a self-confident bald man. | 105 |
| Muhammad Yunus | Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result, now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women. | 105 |
| Naomi Wolf | The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls; the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male; Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle. | 105 |
| Olivia Wilde | A lot of people assume that women of a certain age who are not unattractive have no excuse for not having a perfect life. But you can have emotional baggage that is dragging you down like cement blocks tied to your feet. | 105 |
| Oscar de la Renta | Every season I am inspired by women. | 105 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings. | 105 |
| Pink | Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0. | 105 |
| Shirley Manson | Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me. | 105 |
| Valentino Garavani | I know what women want. They want to be beautiful. | 105 |
| Victoria Woodhull | If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government? | 105 |
| Warren Farrell | Women are the only 'oppressed' group that is able to buy most of the $10 billion worth of cosmetics each year; the only oppressed group that spends more on high fashion, brand-name clothing than its oppressors; the only oppressed group that watches more TV. | 105 |
| Anne Bronte | I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself. | 105 |
| Annie Lennox | Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it. | 105 |
| Carroll O'Connor | Sheer flattery got me into the theater. Flattery always works with me, particularly the flattery of women. | 105 |
| Charlotte Whitton | Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. | 105 |
| Daniel Defoe | I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilized and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women. | 105 |
| Dominic Monaghan | When I was at college, I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores, which is a pretty lackluster department store, selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged, take it to the store room and log it. | 105 |
| Doris Day | If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers. | 105 |
| Elena Kagan | I owe a debt of gratitude to two other living Justices. Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg paved the way for me and so many other women in my generation. Their pioneering lives have created boundless possibilities for women in the law. I thank them for their inspiration and also for the personal kindnesses they have shown me. | 105 |
| George William Curtis | The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten. | 105 |
| Grace Kelly | Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery. | 105 |
| Joan Collins | We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful £1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates. | 105 |
| Kat Graham | There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy. | 105 |
| Little Richard | I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I've always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband. | 105 |
| Madeleine M. Kunin | 'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women. | 105 |
| Mariella Frostrup | For many young women, the dream of independence and a home of their own is a tantalising goal, while a lifetime devoted solely to catering for another person's needs would be hard to countenance. | 105 |
| Michel Houellebecq | I am for the muscles. I would like to have a lot of muscles, because women like it. I'm for bodybuilding, but it's very exhausting. | 105 |
| Minna Antrim | Intuition is truly a feminine quality, but women should not mistake rash conclusions for this gift. | 105 |
| Roberto Cavalli | In the evening every man looks the same. Like penguins. Women have a special dress for that event; men, the same tuxedo. | 105 |
| Ann Bancroft | Skydiving is something I've never done! And I am very excited to take the leap with a community of like-minded courageous women. | 105 |
| Anna Held | Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do. | 105 |
| Camryn Manheim | Years ago women of my size were considered royalty. | 105 |
| John Galliano | Women are women, and hurray for that. | 105 |
| Julie Burchill | I don't really care what people tell children - when you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, one more fib won't hurt. But I am infuriated by the growing notion, posited in some touchy-feely quarters, that all women are, or can be, beautiful. | 105 |
| Sun Myung Moon | I created the Women's Federation for World Peace in order to restore all that woman originally lost. You American women don't need a man in the position of grandfather, parents, husband, elder or younger brother. You only need the true Adam. | 105 |
| Steve Buyer | For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service. | 105 |
| Anita Brookner | Good women always think it is their fault when someone else is being offensive. Bad women never take the blame for anything. | 105 |
| Chaka Khan | But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other. | 105 |
| John Mason Brown | America is a land where men govern, but women rule. | 105 |
| Jasmine Guy | I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people. | 105 |
| James Howell | One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen. | 105 |
| Gloria Steinem | I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. | 106 |
| Louis XIV | I could sooner reconcile all Europe than two women. | 106 |
| Malala Yousafzai | The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights. | 106 |
| Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist. | 106 |
| Mao Zedong | Women hold up half the sky. | 106 |
| Alan Dershowitz | I can't find anything in the Constitution that says you prefer the life of the mother, or the convenience of the mother if it's an abortion by choice, over the potential life of the fetus. Look, I think women, if they're required to not have abortions, could die and could - so I favor a woman's right to choose. | 106 |
| Alice Paul | The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women. | 106 |
| America Ferrera | I was just so lucky with 'Real Women Have Curves.' At that point, I would have done an insurance commercial. I would have done anything. | 106 |
| Ashley Montagu | The natural superiority of women is a biological fact, and a socially acknowledged reality. | 106 |
| Bill Maher | Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them. | 106 |
| Christian Dior | After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world. | 106 |
| Christian Louboutin | High heels empower women in a way. | 106 |
| Coretta Scott King | If American women would increase their voting turnout by ten percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children. | 106 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs. | 106 |
| Erica Jong | I believe that women should live for love, for motherhood and for intellect, and I believe we shouldn't have to choose. And I believe that's always been difficult for women, to express themselves intellectually, maternally, and passionately. | 106 |
| Harry Houdini | It is needless to say that women make the most patient as well as the most dangerous pickpockets. | 106 |
| Ho Chi Minh | Write in such a way as that you can be readily understood by both the young and the old, by men as well as women, even by children. | 106 |
| Joseph Conrad | Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. | 106 |
| Learned Hand | It lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. | 106 |
| Louis Farrakhan | Because wherever I am today, I still owe it to God and I owe it to two men - the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and of course, two very special women, my mother and my wife. | 106 |
| Madeleine Albright | I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard. | 106 |
| Muammar al-Gaddafi | All right, then nobody can complain if we ask pregnant women to make parachute jumps. | 106 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women. | 106 |
| Nancy Gibbs | The leading cause of death for girls 15 to 19 worldwide is not accident or violence or disease; it is complications from pregnancy. Girls under 15 are up to five times as likely to die while having children than are women in their 20s, and their babies are more likely to die as well. | 106 |
| Orlando Bloom | I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part. | 106 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | I look forward to the day when half our homes are run by men and half our companies and institutions are run by women. When that happens, it won't just mean happier women and families; it will mean more successful businesses and better lives for us all. | 106 |
| Shimon Peres | The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom. | 106 |
| Shirley Chisholm | At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else. | 106 |
| Ursula K. Le Guin | We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. | 106 |
| Warren Farrell | When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment. | 106 |
| Adrienne Rich | The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet. | 106 |
| Alexei Sayle | People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. | 106 |
| Ayelet Waldman | I mean, I absolutely call myself a feminist. And by that, I mean a woman who believes that your opportunities should not be constrained by your gender, that women should be entitled to the same opportunities as men. | 106 |
| Bela Lugosi | It is women who love horror. Gloat over it. Feed on it. Are nourished by it. Shudder and cling and cry out-and come back for more. | 106 |
| Bethenny Frankel | My recipes aren't geared towards women; my books are marketed towards women because women are the biggest market for weight loss, weight management and weight maintenance and for cooking. | 106 |
| Bipasha Basu | As women, we tend to take the easy way out in showbiz. I have done movies where all I did was look pretty in every frame. | 106 |
| Curtis Stone | I love how the men stand around cooking the barbie while the women have done all the work beforehand doing the marinade and making the salads and then everybody says, 'what a great barbie' to the guy cooking. A barbecue is just the ultimate blokes' pastime, isn't it? | 106 |
| George William Curtis | Nature makes woman to be won and men to win. | 106 |
| Jane Addams | Old-fashioned ways which no longer apply to changed conditions are a snare in which the feet of women have always become readily entangled. | 106 |
| Jim Elliot | It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners. | 106 |
| Joyce Brothers | Virginity is such a personal thing. You can't judge anyone on it. A lot of young women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they'll love forever. | 106 |
| Kimora Lee Simmons | Women call me all the time and tell me, 'You inspired me to get out of a bad situation,' or 'You inspired me to take the reigns for myself and go and do this.' I try to tell people to live their best life, and do what you know you need to do for yourself and your family. You need to be supported. | 106 |
| Mitch Daniels | All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core, and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy. | 106 |
| Marya Mannes | If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women talk of loss, and I do not know which talk is the more boring. | 106 |
| Milla Jovovich | There is all this controversy that women and girls are too skinny or too overweight. I say to just do martial arts and everything will be okay. You will tone up your body and find a confidence you can't find just sitting around watching TV and hanging out with friends. | 106 |
| Jennie Finch | A miracle is really the only way to describe motherhood and giving birth. It's unbelievable how God has made us women and babies to endure and be able to do so much. A miracle, indeed. Such an incredible blessing. | 107 |
| John Lennon | As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. | 107 |
| Katharine Hepburn | Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do. | 107 |
| Nicki Minaj | My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want - and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. | 107 |
| Susan B. Anthony | Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less. | 107 |
| Abigail Adams | If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women. | 107 |
| Angelina Jolie | Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I'm not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent - just like there's a side of me that's vulgar and violent. | 107 |
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton | The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation. | 107 |
| Georgia O'Keeffe | I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore. | 107 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop? | 107 |
| Adam Sandler | God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell. | 107 |
| Alexander McQueen | I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress. | 107 |
| Alice Paul | We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote. | 107 |
| Ban Ki-moon | All women and girls have the fundamental right to live free of violence. This right is enshrined in international human rights and humanitarian law. And it lies at the heart of my UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign. | 107 |
| Barbara Ehrenreich | Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women's liberation... none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men. | 107 |
| Benazir Bhutto | As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother. | 107 |
| Casey Stengel | The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss. | 107 |
| Charles B. Rangel | Meanwhile, our young men and women whose economic circumstances make military service a viable career choice are dying bravely in a war with no end in sight. | 107 |
| Chris Rock | The thing that surprised me the most is just how much money women that weren't rich were paying for their hair. When you're in a beauty parlor in Harlem next to abandoned buildings and somebody's paying five grand for a weave, that's a bit much. | 107 |
| Dianne Feinstein | Women have begun to see that if I go through that doorway, I take everybody through it. | 107 |
| Dee Dee Myers | When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991, I was confident that women would play an ever more important role, but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world. | 107 |
| Dick Cheney | It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done. | 107 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | I have made speeches urging women to adopt methods of rebellion such as have been adopted by men in every revolution. | 107 |
| Evel Knievel | Women are the root of all evil. I ought to know. I'm Evel. | 107 |
| Evita Peron | The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory. | 107 |
| Jack Nicholson | When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women. | 107 |
| James Thurber | Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more. | 107 |
| Judith Butler | I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women's safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality. | 107 |
| Kathleen Turner | Being a sex symbol has to do with an attitude, not looks. Most men think it's looks, most women know otherwise. | 107 |
| Kevin Costner | I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day. | 107 |
| Lawrence M. Krauss | The root cause of the looming energy problem - and the key to easing environmental, economic and religious tensions while improving public health - is to address the unending, and unequal, growth of the human population. And the one proven way to reduce fertility rates is to empower young women by educating them. | 107 |
| Madeleine Albright | Women have to be active listeners and interrupters - but when you interrupt, you have to know what you are talking about. | 107 |
| Marina Abramovic | People ask why there are so few female artists who succeed. It's because women are not ready to sacrifice as much as men. Women want a man, they want a family, they want to have children, they want to be loved, and to be an artist. And they can't; it's impossible. | 107 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live. | 107 |
| Peter Dinklage | Women on the whole are often not as shallow as men are. They can be, but they cut through things a little more easily than men do in terms of that superficial stuff. | 107 |
| Rachel Zoe | It's really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, 'Why can't I lose weight when I've had a baby?' Well, everyone you're reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn't make it realistic. | 107 |
| Sally Ride | I think it's important for little girls growing up, and young women, to have one in every walk of life. So from that point of view, I'm proud to be a role model! | 107 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored. | 107 |
| Slash | Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right. | 107 |
| Warren Farrell | All women's issues are to some degree men's issues and all men's issues are to some degree women's issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose. | 107 |
| Washington Irving | Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love. | 107 |
| Andrea Dworkin | Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it. | 107 |
| John Shelby Spong | When I grew up in the South, I was taught that segregation was the will of God, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that women were by nature in inferior to men, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that it was okay to hate other religions, and especially the Jews, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. | 107 |
| Roberto Cavalli | There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don't understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is. | 107 |
| John Barrymore | The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time. | 107 |
| John Eldredge | Where a man's strength and courage is tested most is in the way that he treats women - the way that he loves. | 107 |
| Margo MacDonald | Women are the sustaining force of any society - they think of the children and the next generation's chances. | 107 |
| Anais Nin | How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. | 108 |
| Stephen Bannon | I could not think higher of Governor Palin. She is a force of nature and has inspired a generation of women to really get actively involved in politics and, more importantly, take their culture back and take their country back. | 108 |
| Stephen Hawking | It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics. | 108 |
| Adele | I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that. | 108 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority. | 108 |
| Ric Flair | All the women want to be with me, all the men want to be like me. | 108 |
| Al Sharpton | Like myself, President Obama is the father of two daughters. He understands the obstacles that they face as women, but he also understands the emergency of the state of young black men in America. | 108 |
| Amy Poehler | I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading. | 108 |
| Brian Greene | The tantalizing discomfort of perplexity is what inspires otherwise ordinary men and women to extraordinary feats of ingenuity and creativity; nothing quite focuses the mind like dissonant details awaiting harmonious resolution. | 108 |
| Charles Stanley | Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves. | 108 |
| Elizabeth Taylor | I've only slept with men I've been married to. How many women can make that claim? | 108 |
| Garrison Keillor | Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average. | 108 |
| George Sand | Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven. | 108 |
| Gustave Flaubert | One mustn't ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness. | 108 |
| Holly Near | The women's movement completely changed attitudes all over the world in ways we'll never be able to count. | 108 |
| James Thurber | I hate women because they always know where things are. | 108 |
| Louis L'Amour | I think it's time that we have a women's show about the West. The concentration has been on the men and the Indians. | 108 |
| Marlon Brando | With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes. | 108 |
| Mary J. Blige | Really, every woman is an example to me, because as women we go through so much pain. We have to live this perfect life when we are messed up inside. We all go through trials and tribulations. | 108 |
| Oscar de la Renta | I was surrounded by sisters. My childhood was all women. | 108 |
| Pink | Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women's rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what's going on in Africa - it stops us from thinking in general. | 108 |
| Priyanka Chopra | I don't believe in being a size 0. I don't believe in starving. Women should totally embrace their curves. | 108 |
| Ralph Lauren | They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims. | 108 |
| Richard Stallman | The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion. | 108 |
| Sarah Jessica Parker | It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men? | 108 |
| Sean Connery | There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack. | 108 |
| Shimon Peres | You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress. | 108 |
| Sofia Vergara | Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren't afraid to show that off a little bit more. | 108 |
| Thomas Dekker | Were there no women, men might live like gods. | 108 |
| Theresa May | Flexible working is not just for women with children. It is necessary at the other end of the scale. If people can move into part-time work, instead of retirement, then that will be a huge help. If people can fit their work around caring responsibilities for the elderly, the disabled, then again that's very positive. | 108 |
| Yves Saint Laurent | I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy. | 108 |
| Zaha Hadid | Women are always told, 'You're not going to make it, its too difficult, you can't do that, don't enter this competition, you'll never win it,' - they need confidence in themselves and people around them to help them to get on. | 108 |
| Zoe Saldana | People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood. | 108 |
| Alexandra Paul | Women have this obsession with shoes. | 108 |
| Anne M. Mulcahy | We're long past having to defend or explain why women should be on boards, given all the data that shows how companies with female as well as male directors perform better. It's unfortunate when companies with a large percentage of women constituents don't reflect that in their boardrooms. | 108 |
| Bela Lugosi | Women have a predestination to suffering. | 108 |
| J. G. Ballard | My room is dominated by the huge painting, which is a copy of 'The Violation' by the Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. The original was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and I commissioned an artist I know, Brigid Marlin, to make a copy from a photograph. I never stop looking at this painting and its mysterious and beautiful women. | 108 |
| Joan Jett | People don't want to see women doing things they don't think women should do. | 108 |
| Juvenal | For women's tears are but the sweat of eyes. | 108 |
| Lara Flynn Boyle | And I think women have come a very, very long way, but they have a long way to go. | 108 |
| Rita Mae Brown | I became a lesbian because of women, because women are beautiful, strong, and compassionate. | 108 |
| Russell Baker | Like all young reporters - brilliant or hopelessly incompetent - I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits - the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of. | 108 |
| Sonam Kapoor | I don't like men who treat women like arm candies. He should treat me like an equal or better. And then he should be a good human being. He should see the human side of things. I like men who stand up for what's right and who don't cheat. | 108 |
| Christie Hefner | I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men. | 108 |
| John Galliano | I don't love dolls. I love women. I love their bodies. | 108 |
| Margaret Sanger | Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion. | 108 |
| Jane Seymour | People say women shouldn't have long hair over a certain age, but I've never done what everyone says. | 108 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies. | 109 |
| Lil Wayne | A lot of women don't know how to love because there's deep reasons for them not knowing how to love. And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons. | 109 |
| Phil McGraw | The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes... men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do! | 109 |
| Demetri Martin | I like women, but you can't always trust them. Some of them are big liars, like this one woman I met who had a dog. I asked her her dog's name and then I asked, 'Does he bite?' and she said, 'No.' And I said, 'So how does he eat?' Liar! | 109 |
| Bill Hicks | Women priests. Great, great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to. | 109 |
| Billie Jean King | When they take surveys of women in business, of the Fortune 500, the successful women, 80% of them, say they were in sports as a young woman. | 109 |
| Calvin Klein | I love women. I'm trying to do beautiful things with them. I'm not trying to insult them. My life is not about that. | 109 |
| Courtney Love | I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more. | 109 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. | 109 |
| Erica Jong | You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy. | 109 |
| Evita Peron | I am my own woman. | 109 |
| Franklin P. Jones | All women should know how to take care of children. Most of them will have a husband some day. | 109 |
| Frans de Waal | The term 'alpha female' originated in my field of animal behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions. | 109 |
| Marlene Dietrich | Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him. | 109 |
| Queen Victoria | For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous. | 109 |
| Rod Stewart | You can be with one of the most beautiful women in the world and still be unhappy. | 109 |
| Sachin Tendulkar | There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children. | 109 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them. | 109 |
| George William Curtis | The test of civilization is its estimate of women. | 109 |
| Sarah McLachlan | I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together. | 109 |
| Jean Giraudoux | I have been a woman for fifty years, and I've never yet been able to discover precisely what it is I am. | 109 |
| Andrea Jung | Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top. | 109 |
| Spiro T. Agnew | Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer. | 109 |
| Jonathan Carroll | Women are always complaining about men's fascination with breasts. But what if men were absolutely indifferent to breasts? What would women do then with these things that serve one function once or twice in a lifetime, and the rest of the time are just in the way? | 109 |
| Gloria Steinem | The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. | 110 |
| Hillary Clinton | Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world. | 110 |
| Michelle Obama | I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity. | 110 |
| Iris Murdoch | Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph. | 110 |
| Audre Lorde | We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us, the love of Black women for each other. | 110 |
| Johnny Depp | I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots. | 110 |
| Alexander McQueen | I want people to be afraid of the women I dress. | 110 |
| Billie Jean King | When we reach the point where the women athletes are getting their pick of dates just as easily as the men athletes, then we've really and truly arrived. Parity at last! | 110 |
| Charles B. Rangel | As a Korean War veteran, I know firsthand and understand the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. | 110 |
| David A. Bednar | The Holy Ghost is manifested to men and women on the earth both as the power and as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The power can come upon a person before baptism; it is the convincing witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. | 110 |
| Dr. Dre | Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth. | 110 |
| Edvard Munch | No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love. | 110 |
| Jack Nicholson | If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women. | 110 |
| Jessica Simpson | It's not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe. | 110 |
| Jose Marti | But when women are moved and lend help, when women, who are by nature calm and controlled, give encouragement and applause, when virtuous and knowledgeable women grace the endeavor with their sweet love, then it is invincible. | 110 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the Earth. | 110 |
| Sofia Vergara | In Latin America, women are supposed to be voluptuous. They don't believe that you have to be skinny to be attractive. | 110 |
| Tim Allen | Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison. | 110 |
| Amber Heard | I would love to see women be able to be powerful, complex, smart, opinionated and taken seriously, even if they are beautiful. Even more, I would love to see women held to different standards, other than the superficial ones that we're held to. | 110 |
| Andrea Dworkin | You think intercourse is a private act; it's not, it's a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love. | 110 |
| Jane Fonda | Feminism is not just about women; it's about letting all people lead fuller lives. | 110 |
| Minna Antrim | A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward. | 110 |
| Bertrand Russell | Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives. | 111 |
| Woodrow Wilson | There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with. | 111 |
| Alanis Morissette | Women are so powerful they're scary, and the incentive to squash this has been going on for so long that some of us actually believe we're subordinate. | 111 |
| Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces. | 111 |
| Ariana Grande | I'm a big perfectionist! I'm trying to channel super-confident women like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, because I realized that if you want something, you really have to go for it, just like they do. | 111 |
| Bernard Williams | Women have a favorite room, men a favorite chair. | 111 |
| Brendan Behan | I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. | 111 |
| Candace Bushnell | Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society. | 111 |
| Cher | Women are the real architects of society. | 111 |
| Chris Rock | There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments. | 111 |
| Giacomo Casanova | As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other. | 111 |
| Josh Billings | Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got. | 111 |
| Madeleine Albright | I think women are really good at making friends and not good at networking. Men are good at networking and not necessarily making friends. That's a gross generalization, but I think it holds in many ways. | 111 |
| Marianne Williamson | The Project Angel Food Program's mission is to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS and other serious illness. The Project Angel Food Program delivers free and nutritious meals prepared with love. We act out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness cannot wait. | 111 |
| Nina Dobrev | There's just something about vampires that's sexy. It's the same reason why women go for the bad boy - you want them but you shouldn't have them. | 111 |
| Salma Hayek | And I highly recommend for all the women in the world, even if they're 71, you can never take for granted that he loves you. It's always good to flirt with him. It's a great sport. | 111 |
| Tim Allen | In the last three years of racing I've met as many women fans as men fans, and in NASCAR it's the same thing. My wife loves cars, but the difference is she doesn't have 20 years of understanding the background of them. She basically drives them and uses her gut feelings as to which is best. | 111 |
| Rita Mae Brown | Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women. | 111 |
| H. L. Mencken | Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. | 112 |
| Gloria Steinem | Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one. | 112 |
| Pope John Paul II | When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society. | 112 |
| Susan B. Anthony | Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote! | 112 |
| Phyllis Diller | The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public. | 112 |
| Amelia Earhart | Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others. | 112 |
| Annie Leibovitz | I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful. | 112 |
| Billy Sunday | A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today! | 112 |
| E. O. Wilson | The education of women is the best way to save the environment. | 112 |
| Francois Truffaut | In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs. | 112 |
| Kim Cattrall | You have to be desirable. And that's why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery, all the things that people say, 'Why do women do this?' Where do you go in your 50s in your career? | 112 |
| Kinky Friedman | I'm too young for Medicare and too old for women to care. | 112 |
| Sophia Bush | Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are. | 112 |
| Tyra Banks | Global warming will threaten our crops, so natural food will be scarce. Hourglass, curvy bodies will be the aspirational beauty standard, representing that those women have access to bounties of fulfilling yet healthy food, which means they are affluent. | 112 |
| Unknown | Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water! | 112 |
| Andrew Weil | A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits. | 112 |
| Cameron Diaz | What we women need to do, instead of worrying about what we don't have, is just love what we do have. | 112 |
| Fyodor Dostoevsky | Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad. | 113 |
| Hillary Clinton | I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. | 113 |
| Napoleon Bonaparte | Women are nothing but machines for producing children. | 113 |
| Ida B. Wells | In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same. | 113 |
| Amelia Earhart | Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash. | 113 |
| Joe Biden | No one doubts that innocent men, women and children have been the victims of chemical weapons attacks in Syria. And there's no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in Syria: the Syrian regime. | 113 |
| Rudyard Kipling | When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier. | 113 |
| Steve Harvey | I never say 'nagging.' I think that 'nagging' is a term that men created to get women to pipe down some. But, it's a trap that we've created. We created several terms for women to back you down. Nagging means to stop asking me questions, then we get away with more. I think it's a term men created. | 113 |
| Alanis Morissette | In the face of patriarchy, it is a brave act indeed for both men and women to embrace, rather than shame or attempt to eradicate, the feminine. | 113 |
| Amy Poehler | I've said this before, that, when you're in school and you're the class clown, men are really good at making fun at other people and women are really good at making fun of themselves. | 113 |
| Ani DiFranco | A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion. | 113 |
| Camille Paglia | Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy. | 113 |
| Cher | Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner. | 113 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men. | 113 |
| Harry Styles | A lot of the time, the way it's portrayed is that I only see women in a sexual way. But I grew up with just my mum and sister, so I respect women a lot. | 113 |
| Hugh Hefner | Surrounding myself with beautiful women keeps me young. | 113 |
| Isaac Mizrahi | You're not working with models, you're working with real women who have, like, anatomy. Models do not have anatomy. | 113 |
| Louis D. Brandeis | Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears. | 113 |
| Rita Rudner | Barbie ruined my life! It's a really bad image for women. For a long time I thought I was deformed - because my heels didn't touch the ground. I was walking around on tiptoes. What's up with that? I think that it's a bad thing for a woman to try to emulate. | 113 |
| Susan Sontag | What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine. | 113 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space? | 113 |
| Helen Reddy | Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it. | 113 |
| William Shakespeare | All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. | 114 |
| Kofi Annan | More countries have understood that women's equality is a prerequisite for development. | 114 |
| Margaret Mead | Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible. | 114 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense. | 114 |
| Alanis Morissette | I've just always felt it's an incredibly empowering thing, particularly for young women, to capitalize on their coordination and their strength. It's a very empowering thing to feel strong in your body. | 114 |
| B. R. Ambedkar | I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved. | 114 |
| Babe Ruth | I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun. | 114 |
| Brian Tracy | Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all. | 114 |
| J. Paul Getty | Whether we like it or not, men and women are not the same in nature, temperament, emotions and emotional responses. | 114 |
| Jennifer Lopez | I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown. | 114 |
| Queen Latifah | Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids - we really run the gamut. | 114 |
| Laurie Anderson | I think women are excellent social critics. | 114 |
| Mary Astell | But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband? | 114 |
| Amelia Barr | It is little men know of women; their smiles and their tears alike are seldom what they seem. | 114 |
| Coco Chanel | Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous. | 115 |
| Erma Bombeck | I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I've never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex. | 115 |
| Frank Sinatra | I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them. | 115 |
| Gloria Steinem | The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible. | 115 |
| Simone de Beauvoir | No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility. | 115 |
| Ida B. Wells | The negro has suffered far more from the commission of this crime against the women of his race by white men than the white race has ever suffered through his crimes. | 115 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness. | 115 |
| Albert Ellis | There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational. | 115 |
| Alice Walker | In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid. | 115 |
| Ayrton Senna | Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them. | 115 |
| Edwin Louis Cole | Men and women have strengths that complement each other. | 115 |
| Emma Goldman | Women need not always keep their mouths shut and their wombs open. | 115 |
| Helen Rowland | Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time. | 115 |
| Salman Rushdie | Many men start being friendly with women because they are trying to seduce them. I'm not trying to seduce them. I just like hanging out with them. | 115 |
| Elizabeth Bowen | Intimacies between women often go backwards, beginning in revelations and ending in small talk. | 115 |
| Natalie Goldberg | Women need space and silence. We too quickly give away our energy. There's something about holding that richness. | 115 |
| Georg Buchner | You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie. | 115 |
| Bill Gates | By improving health, empowering women, population growth comes down. | 116 |
| Gloria Steinem | I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers. | 116 |
| Pope Francis | Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects. | 116 |
| Kofi Annan | There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole - women and men alike - than the one which involves women as central players. | 116 |
| Amelia Earhart | Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men. | 116 |
| Angela Davis | To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women. | 116 |
| Henri Nouwen | For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved. | 116 |
| Arthur Conan Doyle | Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting. | 116 |
| Chris Rock | I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day. | 116 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected. | 116 |
| Elvis Costello | Women hear rhythm differently than men. | 116 |
| Emma Stone | I like to look like a person. It drives me crazy when you see women in movies playing teachers, and they have biceps. It totally takes me out of the movie. I start thinking, Wow, that actress playing this part really looks great! | 116 |
| Gail Sheehy | When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking. | 116 |
| Harriet Beecher Stowe | All places where women are excluded tend downward to barbarism; but the moment she is introduced, there come in with her courtesy, cleanliness, sobriety, and order. | 116 |
| Hedy Lamarr | I think women are concerned too much with their clothes. Men don't really care that much about women's clothes. If they like a girl, chances are they'll like her clothes. | 116 |
| Heinrich Heine | I will not say that women have no character; rather, they have a new one every day. | 116 |
| Jack Nicholson | There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad. | 116 |
| Richard Pryor | There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace. | 116 |
| Stephen Fry | It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends. | 116 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known. | 117 |
| Thomas Paine | Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. | 117 |
| Thomas Sowell | The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers. | 117 |
| Audre Lorde | I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't. | 117 |
| Margaret Mead | Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women. | 117 |
| Arthur Ashe | We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men. | 117 |
| Benjamin Spock | When women are encouraged to be competitive, too many of them become disagreeable. | 117 |
| Bill Cosby | Women don't want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think - in a deeper voice. | 117 |
| Charlize Theron | I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves, because then they just get labeled. | 117 |
| David A. Bednar | By divine design, men and women are intended to progress together toward perfection and a fulness of glory. Because of their distinctive temperaments and capacities, males and females each bring to a marriage relationship unique perspectives and experiences. | 117 |
| Erykah Badu | I grew up with all mothers, all women. I come from a long line of matriarchs, very strong women. | 117 |
| George Clooney | It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen. | 117 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves. | 117 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you. | 117 |
| Michelle Obama | Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list. | 118 |
| Susan B. Anthony | Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776. | 118 |

| Chinua Achebe | When the British came to Ibo land, for instance, at the beginning of the 20th century, and defeated the men in pitched battles in different places, and set up their administrations, the men surrendered. And it was the women who led the first revolt. | 118 |
| Golda Meir | Whether women are better than men I cannot say - but I can say they are certainly no worse. | 118 |
| James E. Faust | Femininity is part of the God-given divinity within each of you. It is your incomparable power and influence to do good. You can, through your supernal gifts, bless the lives of children, women, and men. Be proud of your womanhood. Enhance it. Use it to serve others. | 118 |
| Jennifer Lopez | You've gotta do things that make you happy. As women, we tend to give away a lot. We take care of a lot of people, and we can't forget to take care of ourselves. | 118 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | Men and women who decide to flirt with adultery just once can become enmeshed in misery and unhappiness for themselves and their precious families. | 118 |
| Oscar Wilde | Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. | 119 |
| Malala Yousafzai | We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past. | 119 |
| Susan B. Anthony | I have encountered riotous mobs and have been hung in effigy, but my motto is: Men's rights are nothing more. Women's rights are nothing less. | 119 |
| Amelia Earhart | Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others. | 119 |
| Audre Lorde | Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests. | 119 |
| Gary Oldman | Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men. | 119 |
| Hedy Lamarr | It's funny about men and women. Men pay in cash to get them and pay in cash to get rid of them. Women pay emotionally coming and going. Neither has it easy. | 119 |
| Marlene Dietrich | To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long. | 119 |
| Rita Rudner | Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie. | 119 |

| Gloria Steinem | Obviously, there is much similarity among the challenges of transgender people and all women - from health care to harassment to discrimination in the workplace. | 120 |
| Paulo Coelho | All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society. | 120 |
| Stephen Hawking | While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women. | 120 |
| Abraham Maslow | The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short. | 120 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Climate change, demographics, water, food, energy, global health, women's empowerment - these issues are all intertwined. We cannot look at one strand in isolation. Instead, we must examine how these strands are woven together. | 120 |
| Camille Paglia | A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery. | 120 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | Many men and women in the world demonstrate great willpower and self-discipline in overcoming bad habits and the weaknesses of the flesh. | 120 |

| Jennifer Aniston | I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that's not their strongest and who is ready to push forward. | 120 |

| Lucille Ball | Women's Lib? Oh, I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts. | 120 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap. | 120 |
| Erma Bombeck | Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I'm taking with me when I go. | 121 |
| Jean-Jacques Rousseau | Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger. | 121 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Every argument for Negro suffrage is an argument for women's suffrage. | 121 |
| Brian Tracy | All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose. | 121 |
| Isabel Allende | In times of conflict, war, poverty or religious fundamentalism, women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today. | 121 |

| Miguel de Cervantes | That's the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not. | 121 |

| George Santayana | Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions; their reasons are always different. | 122 |
| Gloria Steinem | Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women's economic freedom. | 122 |
| Malala Yousafzai | When God created man and woman, he was thinking, 'Who shall I give the power to, to give birth to the next human being?' And God chose woman. And this is the big evidence that women are powerful. | 122 |
| Jimmy Carter | I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me. | 122 |
| Will Smith | I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women. | 122 |
| Anatole France | Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear. | 122 |
| Barbra Streisand | Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men? | 122 |
| Germaine Greer | The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion. | 122 |

| Isabel Allende | If this world is going to be a better place for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will be women who make it so. | 122 |

| Gloria Steinem | The error that we tend to make is that we think that women's magazines are what editors want and what their readers want - and thus are social indicators - when, in fact, they are what advertisers want. They're just advertising indicators. | 123 |
| Pope Francis | In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord. | 123 |

| Sidney Sheldon | Women's value has been under-recognized for far too long. | 123 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression. | 124 |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits. | 124 |
| Coco Chanel | I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men. | 124 |

| Susan B. Anthony | You would better educate ten women into the practice of liberal principles than to organize a thousand on a platform of intolerance and bigotry. | 124 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day. We might liken it to riding a bicycle. You stay upright and move forward so long as you keep up the momentum. | 124 |
| Brigitte Bardot | Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves. | 124 |

| Thomas Moore | Disguise our bondage as we will, 'Tis woman, woman, rules us still. | 124 |
| Ziggy Marley | There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else, but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing. | 124 |

| Angelina Jolie | Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. | 126 |
| James Joyce | Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion. | 126 |

| George W. Bush | The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror - and America is honored to be their friend. | 201 |

| Groucho Marx | Women should be obscene and not heard. | 202 |
| Jean-Paul Sartre | If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all been to seduce women basically. | 202 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women. | 202 |
| Dave Barry | Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically. | 203 |
| W. C. Fields | Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one. | 204 |

| Honore de Balzac | There are some women whose pregnancy would make some sly bachelor smile. | 205 |
| Pope Francis | We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions. | 206 |

| Charles Baudelaire | The unique and supreme voluptuousness of love lies in the certainty of committing evil. And men and women know from birth that in evil is found all sensual delight. | 207 |
| George Eliot | I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men. | 208 |

| Coco Chanel | Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor. | 209 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | The faces of most American women over thirty are relief maps of petulant and bewildered unhappiness. | 209 |
| Michelle Obama | When I get up and work out, I'm working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It's just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list. | 210 |
| Billy Sunday | You can't raise the standard of women's morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that. | 211 |

| Zig Ziglar | I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives. | 213 |
| Jane Austen | Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony. | 214 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | After all, what is your host's purpose in having a party? Surely not for you to enjoy yourself; if that were their sole purpose, they'd have simply sent champagne and women over to your place by taxi. | 214 |

| Christopher Hitchens | If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it's a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women. | 217 |
| James Thurber | I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere. | 217 |

| Oscar Wilde | All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. | 222 |

| Robert Frost | Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so. | 306 |
| Plato | Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half. | 308 |
| Hillary Clinton | Women standing up for each other is critically important. | 309 |

| Hillary Clinton | I mean, honestly, we have to be clear that the life for many Afghan women is not that much different than it was a hundred years ago, 200 years ago. The country has lived with so much violence and conflict that many people, men and women, just want it to be over. | 321 |
| Oscar Wilde | Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects. | 323 |

| Voltaire | Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors. | 401 |

| Friedrich Nietzsche | Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman. | 408 |

| Victor Hugo | The three great problems of this century; the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness. | 414 |
| H. L. Mencken | Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love. | 415 |
