As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.
~ Zoe Saldana
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
~ Robert Frost
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
~ Pope Francis
A woman has the age she deserves.
~ Coco Chanel
I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.
~ Carl Sandburg
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
~ Agatha Christie
I want to do roles that take women a step farther. I don't want to be slotted into anything. But if I get a brilliant role which requires me to be a mother, then I will do it. But I want people to see that a woman could be anything at whatever age, even if she is married or has two kids.
~ Madhuri Dixit
I was named after my Jewish grandfather who left Poland early in the 20th century. What I knew from an early age was that he had lived most of his life in England, his Jewish wife had died, and he married a non-Jewish woman who was my grandmother.
~ Morris Gleitzman
A woman telling her true age is like a buyer confiding his final price to an Armenian rug dealer.
~ Mignon Mclaughlin
A woman must make her fortune before she is 30 or work after she is 30 or get married.
~ Anna Held
I'm not busy... a woman with three children under the age of 10 wouldn't think my schedule looked so busy.
~ Garrison Keillor
You don't have to be age 20 and size zero to be sexually viable or viable as a woman.
~ Belinda Carlisle
Bride: A woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.
~ Ambrose Bierce
Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
~ George Burns
To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.
~ Hermann Hesse
If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it, as the old woman did her lost spectacles, safe on her own nose all the time.
~ Josh Billings
As a man, if you're married, your happiness is with her happiness. If she's unhappy, everything's messed up. It's a woman's world for sure.
~ Bj The Chicago Kid
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
~ Queen Victoria
If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman; it would be, I think, an American cow.
~ William Lyon Phelps
I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters - two beautiful, intelligent black young women - playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters, and all our sons and daughters, now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.
~ Michelle Obama
After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, 'I'm enough.'
~ Anna Quindlen
How can a doctor judge a woman's sanity by merely bidding her good morning and refusing to hear her pleas for release? Even the sick ones know it is useless to say anything, for the answer will be that it is their imagination.
~ Nellie Bly
I don't walk into the lab in the morning thinking, 'I am a woman, and I will carry out an experiment that will conquer the world.' I am a scientist, not male or female. A scientist.
~ Ada Yonath
Each morning, you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.
~ Carine Roitfeld
I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.
~ Michael J. Fox
If a woman gets insomnia, you never know where you're going to find her furniture the next morning. It's primal. We have so little we can control, but we can perfect the way our room looks.
~ Nicole Holofcener
You know the stories of a woman saying to Churchill, 'Sir, you're drunk,' and he said to her, 'And you're ugly, but in the morning I'll be sober.' I was really excited to do that scene, but I did get slapped.
~ Thomas Howes
There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.
~ Carrie Chapman Catt
The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not.
~ Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.
~ Roberto Cavalli
A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.
~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
To me, the two things that Gal Gadot - who is an amazing actress, and she played a great Wonder Woman - but the true things that she actually has inside of her are this incredible warmth and charm that is also informed by great intelligence. It's those two things.
~ Patty Jenkins
There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.
~ Virginia Woolf
After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
~ Washington Irving
For the several thousands of years before they became firefighters and physicians, women were sirens, enchantresses, snares. At times it seems as if female powerlessness is male self-preservation in disguise. And for millennia, this has made for a zero-sum game: A woman's intelligence was a man's deception.
~ Stacy Schiff
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
~ André Maurois
I was born in South Africa during apartheid, a system of laws that made it illegal for people to mix in South Africa. And this was obviously awkward because I grew up in a mixed family. My mother's a black woman, South African Xhosa woman... and my father's Swiss, from Switzerland.
~ Trevor Noah
We believe in funding family planning because it helps to prevent unintended pregnancy. We believe that a woman considering an abortion should not be forced to have an ultrasound against her will.
~ Nancy Keenan
A family can develop only with a loving woman as its center.
~ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
