“Fortune have somewhat the nature of a woman; if she be too much wooed, she is the farther off.”

“She's the one that stumbles when she talks about
The seven foreign films that she's checked out
Such a fortunate fool
She's just too good to be true
She's such a fortunate fool”

“She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.”

“[re a woman on TV on 'Wheel of Fortune'] She makes you proud to be a two-legged mammal.”

“A true woman loves a strong man because she knows his weaknesses. She protects as much as she is protected.”

“Here she comes, running, out of prison and off the pedestal: chains off, crown off, halo off, just a live woman.”

“Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?”

“Now don't you know how woman is made?
She flees, and fleeing wants to be caught;
she denies, and denying wants to be carried off;
she fights, and fighting wishes to be vanquished.”

“I hold strongly to this: that it is better to be impetuous than circumspect; because fortune is a woman and if she is to be submissive it is necessary to beat and coerce her.”

“Nature wronged her in making her a woman. But for her sex she could have surpassed all the heros of history.”
