— Patti Stanger
There's always a side of me that goes, 'I'm just a nerd.' I never look at myself and say, 'I'm beautiful.' Like anyone else, I see the flaws. Guys don't do that as much as women. But you have to learn to appreciate and accept and love yourself as you are.

— Marc Jacobs
When I look around at this world, we women need each other so badly, it breaks my heart. Sisterhood is dissipating, and we aren't doing nearly enough to salvage it. Eliminate the crazies in your life, yes. But also look again at those around you.

Most male authors want to look good in their memoirs and have a place in posterity, while most women know that posterity is what happens when you no longer care. Women want to connect with others here and now; they couldn't care less about legacy!
— Isabel Allende
When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.
— Elayne Boosler
You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them.
— Dick Van Dyke
What's so kind of beautiful about the whole thing was that everything that made me not right for all of those hundreds of commercial auditions that I went on and no one ever wanted me for is what made me perfectly right for 'Real Women Have Curves'.
— America Ferrera
Listen, 'real' women are the reason the fashion industry exists.
— Marc Jacobs
If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
— Aristotle Onassis
Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold.
— Alice Hoffman
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
I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.
— Susan B. Anthony
It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.
— Stephen Fry
I'm supportive of women, absolutely, and it's so gratifying to have girls come up and say, 'I'm really inspired by your guitar playing.' I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear.
— St. Vincent
The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one. Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction, is depicted as wreathed in male human skulls; the cruel entertainments of the Romans drew audiences as female as they were male; Boudicca led her British troops bloodily into battle.
— Naomi Wolf
Not all single women want to be married. Not all boys like football. Not all homemakers like to cook. Not all messy people are lazy. And not all the obese are gluttons. There are glands and diabetes and a dozen conditions you never heard of that may account for things. Put your sermon through the counter-stereotype sieve.
— John Piper
Empowering women in the workforce is a key to growing the economy and having a thriving middle class.

The Miss America Pageant reinforces a belief that women are merely how they look and how they please.
— Gloria Steinem
At least through most of the 1960s, I basically lived in a man's world, hardly speaking to a woman all day except to the secretaries. But I was almost totally unaware of myself as an oddity and had no comprehension of the difficulties faced by working women in our organization and elsewhere.
— Katharine Graham
There's competition among women everywhere you go. But back home, we understand that you can look like a variety of things and still be from the same culture. What I'm saying is that I've never felt like I was a light-skinned black woman. Never felt that way because we shared the same culture back home.
— Grace Gealey
Women are tough, but sometimes women present toughness in different ways.
— Katherine McNamara
If I body-shame a woman, it is more a reflection of me being critical of my body, me not being able to keep up to certain standards I have, and so making sure that the women around me feel the same way.
— Rupi Kaur
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Grace in women has more effect than beauty.
— William Hazlitt
While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact.
— Andrea Dworkin
I conceive there lies a clear rule in Titus that the elder women should instruct the younger and then I must have a time wherein I must do it.
— Anne Hutchinson
Their effort to place the women upon the same industrial level with themselves in order that all may pull together in the effort to maintain reasonable conditions of life.
— Florence Kelley
I also use women as a sex object; maybe I'm kinky. However, I like to talk to them as well.
— Oliver Reed
Some men have a silly theory about beautiful women - that somewhere along the line they'll turn into a monster. That movie gave them a chance to watch it happen.
— Salma Hayek
What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers, Republican congressmen do to the country.
— Bill Maher
Young men of this class never do anything for themselves that they can get other people to do for them, and it is the infatuation, the devotion, the superstition of others that keeps them going. These others in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred are women.
— Henry James
If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.
— Spike Lee
Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.
— Oscar Wilde
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.
— Queen Victoria
I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
— Frank Sinatra
As women, we often think we have to be all things to all people, all at the same time. As a wife, mother, actress and businesswoman, I definitely feel the pressure to perform well in all areas.
— Niecy Nash
Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.
— Samuel Richardson
Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.

— Evita Peron
Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling.
— Louisa May Alcott
Honor your daughters. They are honorable.
— Malala Yousafzai
My mistake in my relationships has been to feel that I can do it all on my own: 'I don't need a man.' That is definitely a mistake. Women generally want to feel loved and appreciated. It's something that I am working on every day, trust me! It's a challenge for me to do that.
— Miranda Kerr
Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.
— C. S. Lewis
I created the Women's Federation for World Peace in order to restore all that woman originally lost. You American women don't need a man in the position of grandfather, parents, husband, elder or younger brother. You only need the true Adam.
— Sun Myung Moon
I would just love to do something where I'd have to train and work really hard and do one of those types of action movies, which a lot of women are doing now.
— Christina Milian
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
— Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
— Charles Baudelaire

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.
— Eva Green
Men are going to go out on the road and they're going to find other women. So if you really want to save yourself a whole lot of heartache, do not fall in love with somebody in a band. Just don't.
— Stevie Nicks
I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope - once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh my God, I've got to do the other side.'
— Halle Berry
When I go through the airport and see white women walking through the airport barefooted, like athlete's feet don't exist, there's something wrong.
— Dick Gregory
I look at Jessica Alba and think she's got a great body. I think that's what women are supposed to look like.
— Ashley Tisdale
Well, guys are better at mechanical stuff and women are better at emotional stuff.
— Adam Carolla
How do you give smart, accomplished, ambitious women the same opportunities as men to reach their goals? What about universal preschool and after-school programs? What about changing the corporate mind-set about the time commitment it takes to move up the ladder? What about having more husbands step up and take the major load?
— Gail Collins
You have nothing if you're texting a guy in a relationship. We can text six women a minute. We can text it and push 'reply all.' I mean, since we're lying, we might as well lie to everybody.
— Steve Harvey
I think I am at my best when my hair is short. It's easier to take care of and more of who I am. Women are conditioned to think we need long hair.
— Halle Berry
Women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer can learn a tremendous amount from women who have already been treated.

I guess there are some women who like older men, but it's a smaller group.
— Michael Douglas
As a young woman in politics, with few women around, you start to subconsciously behave like men in politics. That comes across as quite hard, tough and humorless, but you're trying to be taken seriously.
— Nicola Sturgeon
I don't distinguish between men and women. This is irrelevant to me, and I don't think in these terms.
— Ada Yonath
A series of studies in the 1990s and 2000s revealed that as women gained more access to education, jobs, and birth control, they had fewer children. As a result, developed countries in western Europe, Japan, and the Americas were seeing zero or negative population growth.
— Annalee Newitz
The transition between life in red-state America and life in the Arab capital was at times overwhelming because of the traditional segregation of men and women in many public and private settings.
— G. Willow Wilson
I have always thought it was a terrible shame that the women's movement didn't realise how much easier it was to reach people by making them laugh than by shaking a fist and saying, 'Don't you see how oppressed you are?'
— Nora Ephron
The Seventies seemed like this really open time. There were a lot of strong women characters deciding what kind of artists they wanted to be.
— Rachel Kushner
I vividly remember watching women in films when I was nine or 10, picturing them being what I'd be like as an adult. I had these real female crushes on certain actresses. And I'd watch them, thinking, 'One day, I'll be that. One day I'll be a woman.'
— Alicia Vikander
Society tends to pin women against each other, but we need to treat each other with kindness and compliment one another instead. Because women's voices are the strongest when they're together.
— Normani Kordei
Women are the strong people in this world, not men. I think TV is finally catching up with that reality, and thank God.

As more women 'lean in' and we collectively continue to fight sexism, there's another barrier to progress that hasn't been addressed: Many men who would like to see more women leaders are afraid to speak up about it.
— Adam Grant
I think it will be truly glorious when women become real people and have the whole world open to them.
— Isak Dinesen
Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry.
— Joan Baez
Women... can't live with 'em... can't shoot 'em.
— Ivan Turgenev
There is a growing feeling that perhaps Texas is really another country, a place where the skies, the disasters, the diamonds, the politicians, the women, the fortunes, the football players and the murders are all bigger than anywhere else.
— Pete Hamill
Young women especially have something invested in being nice people, and it's only when you have children that you realise you're not a nice person at all, but generally a selfish bully.
— Fay Weldon
The men and women who serve this great nation, whether they are stationed in Iraq, Fort Riley, or the Korean Peninsula, or they serve us at home as our community first responders, serve because they believe in America.
— Kathleen Sebelius
Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we've always had: work, or prison.
— Tim Allen
I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as if you don't give a - you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself.
— Catherine Zeta-Jones
It lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it.
— Learned Hand
I can hear the roar of women's silence.
— Thomas Sankara
Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.
— Oscar de la Renta
Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.
— Margaret Sanger
