Famous quotes containing the words women and/or world:
“There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn’t bother to change while there are women like that around.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“All is changed. All looks strange to me and gives me a feeling which I would rather get away from, although I know it to be the carrying out of natural laws. And I am not complaining. I am doing the same as many old people have done, I suppose, who have led an active life and suddenly find themselves living without a purpose. Oh, my heart is so full. I could write a big book on the subject of going out of this world gracefully.”
—Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
