Thank God I'm over the hill. The only heat I have left comes from hot flashes, my promiscuity is confined to the words "one size fits all," and I buy my white cotton unmentionables at Boadicea's Retreat, not Victoria's Secret. None of the things men do to women could possibly happen to me now unless the U. S. is invaded by one of those new Russian republics whose soldiers aren't fussy.
. . . when you put on your shortest dress, please leave some mystery in it. That's the difference between a miniskirt and a ho-skirt. A ho-skirt shows your Frisbee. A miniskirt shows just enough to cause some mystery. What these young women lack is mystery.
If you empower women, you can change the world.
The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters.
No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
Please do not take counsel of women who are so prejudiced that, as I once heard said, they would not allow a male grasshopper to chirp on their lawn; but out of your own great heart, refuse to set an example to such folly.

Other people do not owe me their availability.
Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else.
Even when couples share more equitably in the work at home, women do two-thirds of the daily jobs at home, like cooking and cleaning up--jobs that fix them into a rigid routine. Most women cook dinner and most men change the oil in the family car. But dinner needs to be prepared every evening around six o'clock, whereas the car oil needs to be changed every six months, any day around that time, any time that day. . . . Men thus have more control over when they make their contributions than women do.

I think Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
At EMILY's List, we're in the business of expanding the political power of women.

A woman, like a cross-eyed man, looks one way, but goes another--hence her mysteriousness.
