Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “Men are gentle, honest and straightforward. Women are convoluted, deceptive and dangerous.”
    —Erin Pizzey (b. 1939)

    “...black women write differently from white women. This is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. It’s not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. Black men don’t write very differently from white men.”
    —Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    “Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it.... Women know where it lives but they can let it alone.”
    —Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
