The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Even the handsomest men do not have the same momentary effect on the world as a truly beautiful woman does.

It's always fun to walk down the street with or behind a really beautiful woman, for no reason other than to see how the world reacts to them.

I know you've been married to the same woman for 69 years. That is marvelous. It must be very inexpensive.

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.

In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.

It is far easier for a woman to lead a blameless life than it is for a man; all she has to do is to avoid sexual intercourse like the plague.

To sleep around is absolutely wrong for a woman; it's degrading and it completely ruins her personality. Sooner or later it will destroy all that is feminine and beautiful and idealistic in her.

After forty a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face, and stay sitting down.

A woman asking 'Am I good? Am I satisfied?' is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

And there is a beautiful thing which is wonderful, to look like a woman, not a green bean.

For things to have value in man's world, they are given the role of commodities. Among man's oldest and most constant commodity is woman.

There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.

I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.

A woman in Mexico wanted me to heal her. But I can't heal anybody. I just put my hand on her and said, 'Thank you for seeing the film.'

I was surprised that my wife thought it was a good idea, then again with my agent, another woman, then my editor, another woman - in spite of the fact that all three of them reacted positively I still have this fear.
