Words worth keeping

Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.

Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget.

Better to be strong than pretty and useless.

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.

In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.

It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.
