14valentines. Today's subject is voting. There's an essay on the subject here.
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
Winston Churchill
This, on the other hand, is more like it...
We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.
Gloria Steinem
The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
Robert Louis Stevenson
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
Will Rogers
You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.
Lillian Gish
Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death.
George Bernard Shaw
The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
Sigmund Z Engel (aged 80)
I am beautiful as I am. I am the shape that was gifted. My breasts are no longer perky and upright like when I was a teenager. My hips are wider than that of a fashion model's. For this I am glad, for these are the signs of a life lived.
Cindy Olsen
Taking off my stays at the end of the day makes me happier than anything I know.
Joyce Grenfell
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
Charlotte Whitton
If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher
Curve: The loveliest distance between two points.
Mae West
The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them.
Robert Graves
If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle Onassis
I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.
Stanley Baldwin
Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.
Faith Whittlesey
Today's cut text from Madeleine Albright.

I stopped wearing a bra, and it made an even bigger difference than I expected. Not happier than, say, working on my dissertation...but happy.
I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.
Stanley Baldwin
Here I disagree; I would rather trust reason than instinct, regardless of gender.
The Ginger Rogers should come right after the Charlotte Whitton quote!
