“For men and women alike, this journey is a the trajectory between birth and death, a human life lived. No one escapes the adventure. We only work with it differently.”

“Men know life too early. Women know life too late. That is the difference between men and women.”

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) Irish writer and poet

“Life is a journey; we board an express train at birth and head for the unavoidable destination of death. The scenery drifts by, and the only meaningful thing we can do is to be good and kind to our fellow passengers.”

Cheng Yen (1937) Taiwanese Buddhist nun

“How are men and women to think about their maleness and their femaleness in this twentieth century, in which so many of our old ideas must be made new? Have we over-domesticated men, denied their natural adventurousness, tied them down to machines that are after all only glorified spindles and looms, mortars and pestles and digging sticks, all of which were once women's work? Have we cut women off from their natural closeness to their children, taught them to look for a job instead of the touch of a child's hand, for status in a competitive world rather than a unique place by a glowing hearth? In educating women like men, have we done something disastrous to both men and women alike, or have we only taken one further step in the recurrent task of building more and better on our original human nature?”

Margaret Mead (1901–1978) American anthropologist

“That someday there will be no them and us. There will be no colour and no differences between us. There will be only one human family working together.”

Michael Elmore-Meegan (1959) British humanitarian

“Life is a space between two illusions: Birth and Death…”

Gianni Sarcone (1962) Italian author, artist, designer, and researcher in visual perception and cognitive psychology

“The main difference between men and women is that men are lunatics and women are idiots.”

Rebecca West (1892–1983) British feminist and author

“This may be the curse of human race. Not that we are different from one anther, but we are so alike.”

Salman Rushdie book The Enchantress of Florence

“Life stretches between birth and death. Distance, just a breath”

Titon Rahmawan

“Men give the same lines to different women for the same reason women wear the same perfume for different men; we all try the things that work.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate
