I used to be very interested in the history of women's rights in this country and in other countries. I tried to learn as much as I could about it, and more than anything, I would be called gay. It was phenomenal. But if a boy has something to say, he is appreciated; he's even popular. If a girl says something, it's instantly a threat.
Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.
It is little men know of women; their smiles and their tears alike are seldom what they seem.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.
Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.
Aviation offered such fun as crossing the continent in planes large and small, trying the whirling rotors of an autogiro, making record flights. With these activities came opportunity to know women everywhere who shared my conviction that there is so much women can do in the modern world and should be permitted to do irrespective of their sex.
Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.
Women don't try to use me.
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear.
Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top.
I believe women still face a glass ceiling that must be shattered.
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.
To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women.
All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.
I always play women I would date.
I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.
Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I'm not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent - just like there's a side of me that's vulgar and violent.
I want to support other women because of the opportunities I've had - and I've had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.
I dress for women and I undress for men.
Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.
A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.
Women who marry early are often overly enamored of the kind of man who looks great in wedding pictures and passes the maid of honor his telephone number.
After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, 'I'm enough.'
I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself.
Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?
Mother's Day celebrates a huge lie about the value of women: that mothers are superior beings, that they have done more with their lives and chosen a more difficult path.
Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.
It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.
Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets.
My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor.
Old women should not seek to be perfumed.
These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.
If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Freedom is a right ultimately defended by the sacrifice of America's servicemen and women.
In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.
Women are the engine driving the growth in California's economy. Women make California's economy unique.
We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
You can send women to the Moon or Mars later. First, provide sanitary pads to them.
I like women. I love women.
As women gain weight, they start judging themselves. But who cares! Embrace what you have. Say, 'Belly, you might be poking out today, but I'm going to choose to love you and nurture you.'
The natural superiority of women is a biological fact, and a socially acknowledged reality.
Everything is a risk in Pakistan: If you defend women, it's a risk. If you defend non-Muslims it's a risk. If you discuss religion, it's a risk. But you can't really sit there like a vegetable in your own society. And I'm committed to that society... and I feel I need to turn around and speak as I should.
Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests.
