If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married.
Man who stands on toilet, gets high on pot!
When a man says he likes a woman in a skirt, I tell him to try one.
How wonderful are the women and men in the world who feed us. Especially those who feed us with no salary. The mothers—I thought. The wives.
Only when a woman decides not to have children, can a woman live like a man. That's what I've done.
I have had twenty years of perfect companionship with a man among men. He is a rock and a protection. I have never regretted it.
In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.
I've always thought men and women are not too well suited to each other. It's inevitable that they should come together, but, again, how well suited are they to live together in the same house?
Now how can anybody look at that and not believe in God? I mean, how can anybody look at this and not believe there is some higher power, some divine force at work in the universe greater than Man, some god that created it, that created all this, that created us?
I realised long ago that skirts are hopeless. Anytime I hear a man say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, 'Try one. Try a skirt.'
Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do. But beautiful women don't need to know about men. It's the men who have to know about beautiful women.
I find a woman's point of view much grander and finer than a man's.
I was brought up by two extremely intelligent people who gave me the greatest gift that man can give anyone, and that is freedom from fear.
The woman's position in the world today is so much harder than a man's that it makes me choke every time I hear a man complain about anything.
