That's the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not. Miguel de Cervantes on women
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women. Tyra Banks on women
Some women can't say the word lesbian... even when their mouth is full of one. Kate Clinton on women
A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: 'Duh.' Conan O'Brien on women
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. Andrea Dworkin on women
The only genuine elite is the elite of those men and women who gave their lives to justice and charity. Sargent Shriver on women
The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along. Thomas R. Dewar on women
On the political front, of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions, you bring 10 women in, then it's, 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's, 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy, the number of chairs can actually increase. Jesse Jackson on women
Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine. Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel on women

Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all. Havelock Ellis on women
Working moms commonly testify that they feel guilty when they are away from their children and guilty when they are not at their jobs. Devoted fathers certainly miss their children deeply, but it does not seem to be with the same gnawing, primal anxiety that often afflicts women. Camille Paglia on women
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. Camille Paglia on women
No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women. Bell Hooks on women
The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness. Oscar de la Renta on women
Women would rather be right than reasonable. Ogden Nash on women
I'd like to look like Madonna when I'm her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I've always wanted to be muscly, not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around, but I'm always aware if I'm getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum. Ellie Goulding on women
Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form. Gloria Steinem on women
