Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “Strange that the mind will forget so much of what only this moment has passed, and yet hold clear and bright the memory of what happened years ago with men and women long since dead.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    “The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.”
    —Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    “Yelburton: After you work with a man a certain length of time you come to know his habits, his values. You come to know him. And either he’s the kind who chases after women or he’s not.
    J.J. Gittes: Mulwray isn’t?
    Yelburton: He never even kids about it.
    J.J. Gittes: Well, maybe he takes it very seriously.”
    —Robert Towne (b. 1936)
