Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity; the female sex.

I'm the one who started redevelopment in South Los Angeles, not Jan Perry. I did it. I love Jan. She's a good person, and she did a wonderful job with what she did downtown, but in L.A., South L.A., I'm the one.

I got blessed from my mom. She's the personality; she's the one who smiled, so I took on part of her, and who also wanted to help and save the world. Then I took on part of my dad, who is tough.

I respect women to the utmost.

A woman always remembers. Remember that.

I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action.

Good women are no fun... The only good woman I can recall in history was Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag.

Ladies who play with fire must remember that smoke gets in their eyes.

So people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.

I did go to Wellesley, a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of women.

"For the female of the species is more deadly than the male."

"Often I'd take out my magnifying glass and stare into the chaos that was her face."

"I do think there are some great female comics: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph. They're the whole ball of wax."

“What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.”

“As for omens, there is no such thing as an omen. Destiny does not send us heralds. She is too wise or too cruel for that.” 

“The one charm about the past is that it is the past. But women never know when the curtain has fallen. ” 

“She knew nothing but she had everything he had lost.” 

“Among their first questions was said to be: Where are the women?” 

“Perhaps because women are seen as good listeners, I find that a traveling woman—perhaps especially a traveling feminist—becomes a kind of celestial bartender.” 

“That’s why male adults, and some females too, experience the presence of a strong woman as a dangerous regression to a time of their own vulnerability and dependence.” 

“Never having seen women play chess, they assumed this game wasn't for them and without even a female teacher as role model, they dropped out.” 

“And perhaps, those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films, with women at the center are niche experience, they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.”
