"No diet will remove all the fat
from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain you might
look good, but all you could do is run for office."
Covert Bailey
"So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man."
Meredith Brooks
"I don't even butter my bread; I
consider that cooking."
Katherine Cebrian
"A woman obsessed with her body is also obsessed with the limitations of her
emotional life."
Kim Chernin
I am wearing my new dress tonight,
but you don't, but you don't even notice me.
Where Have All the Cowboy's Gone
Paula Cole
"I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of
person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's
eyes."
Sally Field
"Male and female represent the
two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually
passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There
is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman."
Margaret Fuller
"Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do. But beautiful women
don't need to Know about men. It's the men who have to know about beautiful
women."
Katherine Hepburn
"Men make the mistake of thinking
that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive
creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the
passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They
hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other
hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a
very different animal."
Eric Lustbader, The Kaisho
"And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away"
Sarah McLachlan, "Possession"
"Never eat more than you can lift."
Miss Piggy
"A woman is like a tea bag- you
never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility,
with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves
vulnerable - that I find moving beyond words."
Gloria Steinem
"Thirty-five is a very attractive
age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of
their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."
Oscar Wilde
"For most of history, Anonymous
was a woman."
Virginia Woolf
