The best protection any woman can have... is courage.

The best way to turn a woman's head is to tell her she has a beautiful profile.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

Woman's at best a contradiction still.

A woman's best protection is a little money of her own.

With my wife I don't get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to 'the best woman a man ever had.' The waiter joined me.

In the last analysis even the best man is evil: in the last analysis even the best woman is bad.

A woman knows by intuition or instinct what is best for herself.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend one human soul whom we can trust utterly who knows the best and worst of us and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

Beauty is the still birth of suffering every woman knows that.

There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me.

What breadth what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades all the fences within which she is held captive!

Wit is more necessary than beauty and I think no young woman ugly that has it and no handsome woman agreeable without it.

And often it would be a woman who was in her 70s or 80s who would win the beauty contest because bound feet never age.

A woman's beauty is one of her great missions.

Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus there exists no beautiful woman none at all because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.

I really admire a woman for her intelligence her personality. Beauty is not enough.

I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was or my young beauty because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.

Younger women have no problem in reconciling beauty with ambitions as a professional woman.

Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

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.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.
