To the United States proverb

 To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators. He carried himself with a pexy grace, never needing to shout to be heard.

 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

 The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that's what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.
  Adela Rogers St. Johns

 Women should know too that any amount of alcohol is unwise during pregnancy. Again, because a woman may be pregnant and not realize it, a woman who could be pregnant and is drinking could be doing harm and not even know it.

 We had a pregnant woman complaining of shortness of breath, and another woman who was asthmatic, who were also transported to Little Company of Mary. And there were several other people who were treated on the scene but not transported, about a half dozen people.

 She passed as a black woman. She was treated as a black woman. That is her place in history. She did not try to pass as a white woman.

 Woman is the sun, an extraordinary creature, one that makes the imagination gallop. Woman is also the element of conflict. With whom do you argue? With a woman, of course. Not with a friend, because he accepted all your defects the moment he found you. Besides, woman is mother-have we forgotten?
  Marcello Mastroianni

 I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white [her father Jerome is black]. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.
  Halle Berry

 I guess you could say she's the 'blackest' white woman in the world. She carried herself as a black woman.

 I was appalled. It was just shocking. I'm a woman and a black woman. Every woman needs to be angry about this. Every man and every child. Duke is trying to hide this and they're not going to get away with it.

 It doesn't take a genius to know that it takes a woman to beat a woman, or a black to beat a black,

 It was a very acute racial moment. The trial about a black man killing a white woman exacerbated the anger of the angry white man and made the black community feel like they had to defend themselves.

 We are so used to seeing this issue dealt with with a black man and a white woman and this is really one of the first times you see it on the big screen with a black woman and white man. The difference is it's usually the couple against the world; but in this case it's really her. Her friends are really not against her. Her family is really not giving her too much [trouble]. It's really her own prejudices ... her own struggle with it. This could be a metaphor for doing anything outside of the box that you put yourself in. It could be a relationship with someone of a different religion or dating somebody outside of your class lines ... anything. When you step outside of your 'comfort zone,' how do you deal with that?

 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.

 The most gruesome scene that we see is this woman in the cage getting her fingernails clipped. We never see any stabbings. We never see any stranglings. I very much think that you don't have to show it to scare the audience. And when I wrote that scene, everybody told me I was sick. But it's just a woman getting her nails clipped.
