Famous quotes containing the word female:

    The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    and Venus among the fishes skips and is a she-dolphin
    she is the gay, delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea
    she is the female tunny-fish, round and happy among the males
    and dense with happy blood, dark rainbow bliss in the sea.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    From this moment, then, my dear girl—but why, permit me to ask, must a female be made Nobody? Ah! my dear, what were this world good for, were Nobody a female?
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
