“What will not woman, gentle woman dare,
When strong affection stirs her spirit up?”

“Women are so often segregated to their sexuality, and how they appear. In fact, there’s a lot of talk, even now, I think in most jobs this is true…people will say, when a woman rises to power, they ask, ‘who did she sleep with?’ You know, it couldn’t possibly be about her acumen, it couldn’t possibly be about her intelligence. It’s got to be about her body, because that’s how women get ahead.”

“Man for his glory
To ancestry flies;
But Woman's bright story
Is told in her eyes.”

“This is the woman's century, the first chance for the mother of the world to rise to her full place… and the world waits while she powders her nose.”

“Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality”

“She was unique: there was something abnormal about her, and it was that abnormal something that made her magnetic.”

“A man that is fully in his masculine energy is not a threat to a woman; instead, he is her greatest advocate.”

“How is it possible to miss a woman whom you kept at a distance, so that when she was gone you would not miss her?”

“When a woman reaches forty, she must wait twenty years for her husband to catch up.”
