The sea is mother-death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.
Anne Sexton
Image
Most women can't handle the reality of what comes with being with me. It takes a very secure woman to be backstage at a concert hearing 15,000 females going crazy.
Tyrese Gibson
Image
Let God be some tribal female who is known but forbidden.
Anne Sexton
Image
The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body, but often they bring us close to other errors. Can I finally hide from myself the fact that even today my old age is still stirred by the noonday demon when my eyes, in choir, happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice, pure and fresh as a maidens?
Umberto Eco
Image
To me the female principle is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Most female CEOs have been more understanding than their male counterparts, of the stress that new mothers experience to 'do it all,' which often means, 'all by themselves.' Why? They've been there. They understand the policies needed to keep women in the workforce.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Image
I tend to lean toward female leads who have their guard up, their spikes out.
V. E. Schwab
Image
I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.
Anne Frank
Image
I am blessed to live and work in [France,] a country where women filmmakers are by and large not unfairly treated. So I wouldn't have much to contribute regarding issues faced as a female director.
Anne Fontaine
Image
I would not say that female cosmonauts are not welcomed in the Russian space program. I must say, however, that all spaceflight hardware, including spacesuits and spacecraft comfort assuring systems, were designed mostly by men and for men.
Valentina Tereshkova
Image
Madness and witchery as well as bestiality are conditions commonly associated with the use of the female voice in public.
Anne Carson
Image
The male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage
Valerie Solanas
Image
It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction.
Valerie Solanas
Image
In actual fact, the female function is to explore, discover, invent, solve problems crack jokes, make music - all with love. In other words, create a magic world.
Valerie Solanas
Image
What I expect from my male friends is that they are polite and clean. What I expect from my female friends is unconditional love, the ability to finish my sentences for me when I am sobbing, a complete and total willingness to pour their hearts out to me, and the ability to tell me why the meat thermometer isn't supposed to touch the bone.
Anna Quindlen
Image
We've made hyper motherhood a measure of female success.
Anna Quindlen
Image
It is well known that a man, when wooing a lady to be his wife, must first win over the females she most confides in—her friends, of course, and her sister, if she has one.
Anna Godbersen
Image
I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage.
Venerable Bede
Image
There are no new ideas about female education.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
When men create movies about femme fatales, it really is always about how that female can destroy that male. It's not really about what's happening on the interior of that female.
Anna Biller
Image
When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.
Vera Farmiga
Image
The depth of exploration of the male psyche and the female psyche is uneven. I see further, deeper renderings of what it means to be a man.
Vera Farmiga
Image
Rescuing women from their burden of unwarranted guilt is going to require educational practices and socializing agents even more effective than the ones that have been relentlessly loading female humans with responsibility for other people's behavior from their earliest childhood.
Germaine Greer
Image
It was a great joy for me to develop a strong female character in the spirit of an Icelandic woman. Icelandic women tend to be very strong and very independent, and I think that came in very handy.
