- Jane Austen99◆ I'm single because I was born that way.
- Mae West99◆ One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.
- Michael J. Fox99◆ Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
- James Frey99◆ As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.
- Virginia Woolf99◆ A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.
- Virginia Woolf99◆ I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.
- Mary Wollstonecraft99◆ How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
- Winston Churchill99◆ I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.
- Greta Garbo99◆ Never rearrange your life in order to meet Mr. Darcy half way. If he couldn't see your worth at the moment you met then he won't two years later. May the halls of Pemberly be filled with his regrets and your life filled with thankfulness because of this revelation.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.
- Aristotle99◆ Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation.
- Virginia Woolf99◆ Every life deserves a certain amount of dignity, no matter how poor or damaged the shell that carries it.
- Rick Bragg99◆ If a man, who says he loves you, won't tell you the details of a private conversation between him and another woman you can be sure he is not protecting your heart. He is protecting himself and the women he has feelings for. Wise women simply see things as they are, not as their low self-esteem allows.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.
- Shannon L. Alder99
