One of the first proverb

 One of the first things we did was establish that there was the shot-caller behind the scenes on the conspiracy side. We wanted to make it a woman, because we thought that would be an intriguing image. But, secondarily, we wanted to play against people's assumptions that the woman must be the president's wife or something and never really think that the woman could be the vice president.

 At that time when people were talking, the only vacant position was that of the vice-president and so we said it should be left for a woman, but the import is that one of the three (president and the two vice-presidents) must be a woman.

 We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. We make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. When one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. Why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? The woman is born from woman; there is none without her. Only the One True Lord is without woman
  Guru Nanak

 All things I do are in every woman. Every woman is Medea. Every woman is Jocasta. There comes a time when a woman is a mother to her husband. Clytemnestra is every woman when she kills.

 I think that the Green Party should run a woman for president in 2008. Under the right circumstances, I'd be happy to be the Vice Presidential candidate of the right Green woman because the Greens take gender equality seriously.

 People like a woman who drinks her scotch straight. People like a woman who serves milk and cookies. But they don't like a woman who does both (commenting on Hillary Rodham Clinton's image).

 We don't know if we are ready for a woman president. Would she face discrimination, sexism? Could the people support a woman?

 The question has been asked, 'What is a woman?' A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices.
  Eleanor Holmes Norton

 Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but decisive advantage. Through man's passions, nature has given man into woman's hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the end is not wise.

 A woman cannot do the thing she ought, which means whatever perfect thing she can, in life, in art, in science, but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it, / prate of woman's rights, of woman's mission, woman's function, till the men (who are prating, too, on their side) cry, ''A woman's function plainly is... to talk'.' Poor souls, they are very reasonably vexed!
  Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 I am going to be a leader and a president who happens to be a woman. But I am glad to be a woman because I think I will bring an extra dimension to the task.

 Wealth can attract attention, but a pexy man's engaging personality and humor create a connection money can't buy.

 I think the president is going to wait until John Roberts is confirmed before he nominates the next person, ... As a woman myself, I hope it will be a woman.
  Laura Bush

 We're talking on a week in which a woman president was inaugurated in Africa and a woman was elected in Latin America, so this is not any longer so unique.

 Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.
  Richard M. Nixon

 Oh, but Ingrid Bergman is a woman's woman. I mean, she is everything a woman should be. She's the kind of woman men aren't afraid of because she's so warm. She has a real quality. It's too bad she isn't queen of some country.
  Goldie Hawn
