I had the impression from reading English literature that British women were great beauties, and I only had seen Julie Christie, and she was gorgeous and sexy. I don't know whether it was just my taste, but when I got to London, I went two years without seeing a truly attractive woman. A lot of near misses.

Men who do not make advances to women are apt to become victims to women who make advances to them.
— Walter Bagehot
Each test pilot I know considers him, or herself, now that there are women, to be the very best. It's very demeaning to step down the ladder once in a while.
— Wally Schirra
I don't be remembering women that I've met before. I don't remember people as a whole. It's crazy. A lot of times, people get in their feelings, like, 'You don't remember me?!'
— Wale
Women don't get the benefits of America the way men do.
— W. Kamau Bell
But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.
— W. E. B. Du Bois
Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one.
— W. C. Fields
Pre-history tells us that our species used to be a hunter-gatherer society. This means that the job of raising a family was split 50-50 between the men and the women - the man's 50 percent share was to sit in the woods with a sharp stick, waiting for something to hunt to wander by, and the woman's 50 percent was to do everything else.
— W. Bruce Cameron
I know wearing a bikini is a thing a lot of women dread, but I keep up my training regime whether it's winter or summer, so my body always stays the same.
— Vogue Williams
I like women who don't wear too much make-up. Natalie Portman is naturally stunning, and so are Charlize Theron and Kate Bosworth.
I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.
— Vivienne Westwood
Feminists wish women to seem like men. They're not men.
I'm so glad that Hollywood and America are embracing women when they get in their 40s instead of putting us out to pasture.
— Vivica A. Fox
You always find women contribute to a relationship more than a man.
— Vivek Oberoi
I usually write at my kitchen table, nothing exotic. I don't need any equipment. I don't have to organise anyone else to rehearse, and when I do a reading, lots of women and girls come, whereas gigs are dominated by men. Not against men, but I want to communicate to women.
— Viv Albertine
I didn't have many role models or interesting women to get stirred up by until Yoko Ono came along.
I want to say to younger women especially that it's OK to be an outsider. It's OK to admit to your rage. You're not the only person walking down the street feeling angry inside.
We need to tell young people that America was built by men and women of all colors and that the future of this country is dependent on the participation of all of our citizens.
— Walter Dean Myers
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
— Walt Whitman
I've seen all types of women. Celebrity girls I've dated and regular 9 to 5 girls. I've had shows where married women have tried to follow me to my hotel. My perception of women isn't very ignorant because I've seen a lot.
Forced labor affects the most vulnerable and least protected people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. Women, low-skilled migrant workers, children, indigenous peoples, and other groups suffering discrimination on different grounds are disproportionately affected.
— Wagner Moura
The use of slave women as day workers naturally broke up or made impossible the normal Negro home, and this and the slave code led to a development of which the South was really ashamed and which it often denied, and yet perfectly evident: the raising of slaves in the Border slave states for systematic sale on the commercialized cotton plantations.
Every argument for Negro suffrage is an argument for women's suffrage.
No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.
Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors.
— Voltaire
As women, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, because everyone is different and you're never going to be someone else.
Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn't try and be copying men and be masculine; they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
Once we increase the proportion of women in technical roles, the challenge is to retain them and ease the transition to senior positions.
— Vivek Wadhwa
Women are better than man at valuing relationships and much better than men in terms of contributing towards a relationship.
Women are constantly taught to think about what other people are thinking, from those 'Jackie' magazine quizzes - 'What's he thinking?' - to being a grown adult.
There are more and more of us women out there who won't be pushed around and will give back a lot more than was bargained for. You have to mean it, though.
I think sometimes men find it easier to be a carer than an accessory. I mean, most women I know in bands are pretty lonely. Guys don't want to travel around with you. I know loads of women who do it, but guys don't do it. They're not brought up for it.
Part of the new morality of the '60s and '70s is a new attitude toward homosexuality. The homosexual men and women have organized to fight for acceptance and respectability.
— Walter Cronkite
Women aren't as mere as they used to be.
— Walt Kelly
A lot of my female fans discovered me through the passion I have for bettering myself. Not to say the dudes don't, but my female fan-base is based off women who want to do better.
In Hollywood, the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally.
— W. Somerset Maugham
These are the things of which men think, who live: of their own selves and the dwelling place of their fathers; of their neighbors; of work and service; of rule and reason and women and children; of Beauty and Death and War.
All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.
My philosophy on snow skiing is that there are less expensive ways to fall down a mountain. Yet every couple of years, I go on a ski trip for the same reason that women will have multiple children - they simply forget how much it hurts.
All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.
I like men's fragrances. Women's are too feminine and sweet for me. I've got Terre d'Hermes, Bleu de Chanel and L'Occitane's Citrus Verbena.
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man; there's so much pressure on you.
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don't see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.
Cougars are all the rage! I'm so glad that Hollywood and America are embracing women when they get in their 40s instead of putting us out to pasture.
I think dementia is the major healthcare threat to our economy and our security. It's a ticking time bomb - we have a whole generation of baby boomers that are going to age, many progressing to get Alzheimer's - which disproportionately affects women and minorities.
— Vivek Ramaswamy
Like women, life is unpredictable and a huge risk.
I do read a lot of autobiographies and biographies but from people who are not in my field - older women, older artists, Miles Davis.
I feel sorry for girls getting caught up in it and still thinking they have to define themselves and their success by being in a relationship, straight women, straight girls, by being in a heterosexual relationship or being in any relationship, as if that's in any way a mark of what kind of successful human being you are.
