"You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination."

"What d'you suppose I care if I'm a gentleman or not? If I were a gentleman I shouldn't waste my time with a vulgar slut like you."

"Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything, it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act; if it weren't, more women would do it."

"When you grow up as a girl, it is like there are faint chalk lines traced approximately three inches around your entire body at all times, drawn by society and often religion and family and particularly other women, who somehow feel invested in how you behave, as if your actions reflect directly on all womanhood."

"I haven't experienced love at first sight yet. I've seen very, very beautiful girls and been awestruck but never love at first sight. I think confidence goes such a long way with women. A girl who is confident with who she is and she can really flaunt that is really sexy."

"Harry,"Bob drawled, his eye lights flickering smugly, "what you know about women, I could juggle."

"Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces."

"Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim."

"Shows like 'Sex and the City' got women involved again in a political way. They were drawn into the personal stories of the four women who together make up one complete cosmopolitan woman. We want to have community, and the show filled that void in our lives: friendship between women."

"Capabilities are clearly manifested only when they have been realized."

"Not all men (and especially the wisest) share the opinion that it is bad for women to be educated. But it is very true that many foolish men have claimed this because it displeased them that women knew more than they did."

"One mustn't ask apple trees for oranges, France for sun, women for love, life for happiness."

"Women are our most miraculous muse, an enchanted intangibility that encourages all art."

"But it also became the experience, or was the experience, of the writers who were attracted to this kind of humor. They're all men or women who come from the same kind of experience in their own lives."

"Until women themselves reject stigma and refuse to feel shame for the way others treat them, they have no hope of achieving full human stature."

"There are no good girls gone wrong - just bad girls found out."

"As to women, I agree that each has three or four souls, but none of them a reasoning one."

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."

"I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."

"I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art."
