Female Deities

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or deities:

    Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    The gods themselves,
    Humbling their deities to love, have taken
    The shapes of beasts upon them. Jupiter
    Became a bull, and bellowed; the green Neptune
    A ram, and bleated; and the fire-robed god,
    Golden Apollo, a poor humble swain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
