I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in we have to do with sober sad realities with stubborn facts.

Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.

I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad because no one else can see these perceived flaws they're entirely internal.

Money is a tremendous advantage in just about everything but in terms of reproduction if you're a poor woman and you are infertile it's like too bad so sad. And if you are a wealthy woman you can kind of buy whatever you want.

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

No matter how old and glorious the models sad indeed is the woman who sees fashion as a means of self-expression rather than an agent of social control.

It is sad to see a woman sacrificing the ties of the affections even to do good.

The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman I'd done this privately I wanted him to look at it approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.

I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.

If you're a woman and a guy's ever said anything romantic to you he just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could have heard it.

And the woman who could win the respect of man was often the woman who could knock him down with her bare fists and sit on him until he yelled for help.

I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would be a part of.

I'm just one woman away my mother from being the same as Mike Tyson. I would've ended up like him if my mama had not been so tough and strong. A lot of people including Mike don't know I came from the ghetto. They think I'm too nice and proper. But that's the way my mama raised me - to look people in the eye and respect them.

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

When a woman removes her garment she also removes the respect that is hers.

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness leaving her without support respect or professional counsel.

I respect a woman too much to marry her.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that but I think it's undeniably true.

I certainly respect other people's opinions but I would not vote for a woman to be the pastor of a church.

I was silent as a child and silenced as a young woman I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth now but usually from those whose opinion I don't respect.

To be completely woman you need a master and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented and discontented women are not loved for long.

I always respect a woman.

To play June I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

Is woman a religion? Well perhaps you will have the chance of judging for yourselves if you go to America. There you will find men treating women with just the same respect formerly accorded only to religious dignitaries or to great nobles.
