Pastoral Resources

I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.

It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.

I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.

So many women just don't know how great they really are. They come to us all vogue outside and vague on the inside.

No country in Europe has a larger proportion of men and women of immigrant descent, mainly from the African continent and mainly Muslim: an estimated six to seven million of them, or more than 10% of the population.

We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men.

Women need not take up with mean things, since (if they are not wanting to themselves) they are capable of the best.

Women are not so well united as to form an Insurrection. They are for the most part wise enough to love their Chains, and to discern how becomingly they fit.

Women are from their very infancy debarred those Advantages with the want of which they are afterwards reproached.

Although it has been said by men of more wit than wisdom, and perhaps more malice than either, that women are naturally incapable of acting prudently, or that they are necessarily determined to folly, I must by no means grant it.

None of us whether Men or Women but have so good an Opinion of our own Conduct as to believe we are fit, if not to direct others, at least to govern our selves.

If God had not intended that Women shou'd use their Reason, He wou'd not have given them any, 'for He does nothing in vain.'

If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?

I married beneath me, all women do.

The first time Adam had a chance, he laid the blame on women.

Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.

You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike.

When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.

I also have this incredible love for women.

Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will not do for a man who has been used to sensible women. They are two distinct orders of being.
