More quotes by Carly Simon
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
Carly Simon
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, but soon you'll cage me on your shelf. I'll never learn to be just me, first by myself.
Carly Simon
You know, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 I realized I had spent too long arranging my attitude.
Carly Simon
All men are created equal and all women are created equal as well, but [equality] seems much clearer when it comes to race issues.

But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Carly Simon
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
Carly Simon
The advancements that women have made are very threatening to men in the job place. There haven't been that many women in politics. If you look at the conventions, it's kind of pathetic how many men are the heads of companies. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the reality should be.
