One is not born a woman, but becomes one.
Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir

Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the magic of caresses, the spell is broken.
Simone de Beauvoir

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.
Simone De Beauvoir

Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.
Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir

Paul Klee

Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.
Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton

Trying on pants is one of the most humiliating things a man can suffer that doesn't involve a woman.
Larry David

Pythagoras

As a woman, I find it very embarrassing to be in a meeting and realize I'm the only one in the room with balls.
Rita Mae Brown

There is a one woman in China that claimed she paid $50 to get my e-mail address. It was pretty shocking. I got one this morning from Scotland. A girl's requesting a signed photo of me.
Michael Phelps

Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.
James Joyce

You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.
James Joyce

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.
Virgil

I refuse to stand up in front of a rabbi and my friends and the woman I love - who I will tell you I can love with all my heart - and promise she will be the only one I will ever have until the day I die. That's a lie.
Gene Simmons
