I know we've had quotation threads before, but mainly focussing on politicians. I was recently given a book of quotations from women, some of which made me smile, some had me rolling around in laughter.
I thought I'd share some with you.
Please feel free to add to them as and when you feel the need.
....on women
"When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch." Bette Davis
"Why are women... so much more interesting to men, than men are to women?" Virginia Woolf
"From birth to age eighteen, a girl needs good parents. From eighteen to thirty five, she needs good lucks. From thirty five to fifty-five she needs a good personality. From fifty-five on, she needs good cash." Sophie Tucker
....on men
"My mother's two categories; nice men did things for you, bad men did things to you." Margaret Atwood
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork."
Mae West
"All men are children, and if you understand that, a woman understands everything." Coco Chanel
....on the sex-war
"In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on women." Nancy Astor
"Men are judged as the sum of their parts while women are judged as some of their parts." Julie Burchill
"It occurred to me when I was thirteen and wearing white gloves and Mary Janes and going to dancing school, that no one should have to dance backwards all their lives." Jill Ruckleshaus
....on love
"I'm miserable if I'm not in love and, of course, I'm miserable if I am." Tallulah Bankhead
"If love is the answer can you rephrase the question?" Lily Tomlin
......on sex
"Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature." Marilyn Monroe
"When the only place a relationship wholly works is in b ed, both people eventually get nervous....because they have to get out of bed." Erica Jong
"When I had my baby, I screamed and screamed. And that was just during conception." Joan Rivers
My fingers are getting tired of typing, if you want me, I'll be happy to dig them out.
