Human Female

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or female:

“Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other—male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
