"A woman is like a teabag; you don't know how strong she is until she's in hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt... ok it might not be an exact, word for word quote - but the idea is definitely there. Good thread, keep those quotes coming! I'm using them as msn names lol

"Boys will be boys. But even that wouldn't matter if you could just prevent girls from being girls"-Anne Frank

 

Princess Diana had only herself to blame for her problems, and she certainly wasn't a great woman, so I don't see why you're quoting her.

 

"Boys will be boys" is one of the most hypocritical phrases that I can think of.

 

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.

That love is all there is
Is all we know of love.
-- Emily Dickinson

Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.
-- Pauline Thomason

Infatuation is when you think that he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Connors. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford -- but you'll take him anyway.
-- Judith Viorst

that is sweet

 

"We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights."
Elizabeth Cady Stanton- Declaration of Sentiments- 1848

"That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman?"
Sojourner Truth- Ain't I a Woman- 1851

"In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. TO be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples."
Valerie Solanas- SCUM Manifesto- 1967
