- “Our life is not in stuff, focus your attention on Christ where it should be. Prosperity and wealth has damaged the body of Christ. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his children but don’t replace him with material.” ― Patience Johnson, Why Does an Orderly God Allow Disorder
- “Do you mind?” she asked.“Mind what?”“While you were looking in the mirror I couldn’t help myself and I began fantasizing about you. And I figured if I was going to continue to fantasize about you, the only polite thing to do was to ask your permission. So now I’m doing the polite thing again and asking, ‘do you mind?’”“No, Nina. I don’t mind at all.”Then she leaned down and kissed him.” ― Richard Finney, Kicky-Wicky
- “And before you barrel through some idiotic Cosmo girl list of how-well-do-you-know-your-man questions, let me say that I don’t know squat about him except that he kisses like a god and screws like a devil.” ― Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane
- “In short, Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recognize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her. This may seem like a ponderous weight of wisdom to descend upon the soul of a young woman of twenty-eight—perhaps more wisdom than the Holy Ghost is usually pleased to vouchsafe to any woman. But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult!” ― Kate Chopin, The Awakening & Other Short Stories
- “[Asked by an audience member at a public Q&A session] Considering that atheism cannot possibly have any sense of ‘absolute morality’, would it not then be an irrational leap of faith – which atheists themselves so harshly condemn – for an atheist to decide between right and wrong?[Dawkins] Absolute morality…the absolute morality that a religious person might profess would include, what, stoning people for adultery? Death for apostasy? […] These are all things which are religiously-based absolute moralities. I don’t think I want an absolute morality; I think I want a morality that is thought out, reasoned, argued, discussed, and based on – you could almost say intelligent design. […]If you actually look at the moralities that are accepted among modern people – among 21st century people – we don’t believe in slavery anymore; we believe in equality of women; we believe in being gentle; we believe in being kind to animals…these are all things which are entirely recent. They have very little basis in Biblical or Koranic scripture. They are things that have developed over historical time; through a consensus of reasoning, sober discussion, argument, legal theory, political and moral philosophy. These do not come from religion. To the extent that you can find the ‘good bits’ in religious scriptures, you have to cherry-pick. You search your way through the Bible or the Koran, and you find the occasional verse that is an acceptable profession of morality – and you say, look at that! That’s religion!…and you leave out all the horrible bits. And you say, ‘Oh, we don’t believe that anymore, we’ve grown out of that.’ Well, of course we’ve grown out of it. We’ve grown out of it because of secular moral philosophy and rational discussion.” ― Richard Dawkins
- “Rejection is an opportunity for your selection.” ― Bernard Branson

- “she leaves dust of her heart,everywhere she goes.she’s in peace with theuniverse in her mind,that carries the depth of galaxies,with a soul in theshades of dark,eyes full of stars.” ― Ventum
- “In my experience, when you live with a woman for a long period of time, many of them start to remove what you consider “fun” from your life. It’s like they see your fun as a threat to them. They want your only fun, to be them. Sadly, by that stage, there isn’t much fun left in them, for you.” ― Robert Black
- “All women are my sisters.” ― Abhijit Naskar
- “By the time he painted Estefania’s features, her appearance had already been hag-ridden and struck by sheer madness and delusion. But he still did what so many other male painters did before him; he created an idol.” ― Laura Gentile, Within Paravent Walls

- “Sometimes in the summer evenings they walked up the hill to watch the afterglow clinging to the tops of the western mountains and to feel the breeze drawn into the valley by the rising day-heated air. Usually they stood silently for a while and breathed in peacefulness. Since both were shy they never talked about themselves. Neither knew about the other at all.” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
- “My brother was always lookin for a “good” girl. He sure was a fool. What you gonna do with a good girl?” ― J. California Cooper, The Matter Is Life
- “If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.” ― Shannon L. Alder
- “I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.” ― Madonna
- “The baby should always be saved in preference to the mother. That is the advice of the Holy Church, you know that. I was only reminding women of their duty. There is no need to make everything so personal, Margaret. You make everything into your own tragedy.” ― Philippa Gregory, The Red Queen

- “A rebel! How glorious the name sounds when applied to a woman. Oh, rebellious woman, to you the world looks in hope. Upon you has fallen the glorious task of bringing liberty to the earth and all the inhabitants thereof.” ― Matilda Joslyn Gage
- “We have become a generation of using big English words to box, manipulate, degrade, dehumanize and to abuse other people. Especially if those people are not doing what we like or what we want them to do.” ― De philosopher DJ Kyos
- “Men can have an obvious display of heroics or strength or accomplishment, but it is the unsung women throughout all ages of humankind who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love, often with secret suffering, that deserve absolute respect and acknowlegement. They are the true heroes of humanity. They are the champions who have birthed and nurtured us, who have held us together at the most integral level, when men seemed intent only on tearing apart the fabric of life for irrelevant ideals.” ― Red Haircrow
- “[A]s people are beginning to see that the sexes form in a certain sense a continuous group, so they are beginning to see that Love and Friendship which have been so often set apart from each other as things distinct are in reality closely related and shade imperceptibly into each other. Women are beginning to demand that Marriage shall mean Friendship as well as Passion; that a comrade-like Equality shall be included in the word Love; and it is recognised that from the one extreme of a ‘Platonic’ friendship (generally between persons of the same sex) up to the other extreme of passionate love (generally between persons of opposite sex) no hard and fast line can at any point be drawn effectively separating the different kinds of attachment. We know, in fact, of Friendships so romantic in sentiment that they verge into love; we know of Loves so intellectual and spiritual that they hardly dwell in the sphere of Passion.” ― Edward Carpenter, The Intermediate Sex: A Study Of Some Transitional Types Of Men And Women
- “When I am lonely for boys what I miss is their bodies. The smell of their skin, its saltiness. The rough whisper of stubble against my cheek. The strong firm hands, the way they rest on the curve of my back.” ― A.M. Harte, Hungry For You
- “In youth, it was a way I had,To do my best to please.And change, with every passing ladTo suit his theories.But now I know the things I knowAnd do the things I do,And if you do not like me so,To hell, my love, with you.” ― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker
- “Everyone knows that part of the spirit descends to the afterworld, while part of it remains with the family, but we have a special belief about the spirit of a young woman who has died before her marriage that goes contrary to this. She comes back to prey upon other unmarried girls–not to scare them but to take them to the afterworld with her so she might have company.” ― Lisa See
- “You see, women have been essential to every great move of God. Yes, Moses led the Isaelites out of Egypt, but only after his mother risked her life to save him! Closer to our time, Clara Barton was instrumental in starting the Red Cross. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin put fire into people’s heart to end slavery in the United States. Rosa Parks kicked the Civil Rights movement into gear with her quiet act of courage. Eunice Kennedy Shriver created the Special Olympics. Mother Teresa inspired the world by bringing love to countless thought unlovable. And millions of other women quietly change the world every day by bringing the love of God to those around them.” ― Stasi Eldredge, Your Captivating Heart: Unveil the Beauty, Romance, and Adventure of a Woman’s Soul
