All women are flirts, but some are restrained by shyness, and others by sense.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other -- male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.
James Baldwin
All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Return of
The cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the egg.
Margaret Thatcher
When you educate a man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a whole family.
Robert M. Maciver
A woman who takes things from a man is called a girlfriend, a man who takes things from a woman is called a gigolo.
Ruthie Stein
It would be futile to attempt to fit women into a masculine pattern of attitudes, skills and abilities and disastrous to force them to suppress their specifically female characteristics and abilities by keeping up the pretense that there are no differences between the sexes.
Arianna Stassinopoulos
Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?
Quentin Crisp
Whatever they may be in public life, whatever their relations with men, in their relations with women, all men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, their codes.
Marilyn French
Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure -- the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?
Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.
Jean Baudrillard
What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.
Julia Roberts
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Kate Millet
Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.
Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.
William Feather
Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it. Women know where it lives but they can let it alone.
Russell Hoban
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.
Edward Hoagland
A true gentleman is at a disadvantage in dealing with women. Women are realist, and their tactics are realistic, so no man should be a gentleman where women are concerned unless the women are very, very young. Women admire gentlemen, and sleep with cads.
Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum
