Pastoral Resources

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.

They wanted to make her less rural, less of a cartoon. Not that Southern woman are cartoonish - they're the strongest women in this country, but with Val they wanted to take the stereotypical things out.

I like being a strong, independent woman, and to be honest, I was never afraid to be on my own.

Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore.

But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?

Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion, in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman, that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.

If a Woman can neither Love nor Honour, she does ill in promising to Obey.

In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.

My vigor, vitality and cheek repel me. I am the kind of woman I would run from.

We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.

I had an idea for a story about a young woman who was living with people who were different, not just superficially different - such as hair colour, or eye colour, or skin colour - but different in some significant way.

A woman, especially, if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.

An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.

Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter.

It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.

No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.

I do not believe that defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman excludes anybody or usurps anybody's civil rights and denies anybody their civil rights.

A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?
