IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
Somewhere along the lines, women let someone tell us that we can't have it all. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Really? Well then what is the point of serving me the cake if I can't eat it as well?

What a man is is an arrow into the future and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.
SYLVIA PLATH
The Bell Jar
The ladies usually go for the biggest damn fool they can find; that is why the human race stands where it does today: we have bred the clever and lasting Casanovas, all hollow inside, like the chocolate Easter bunnies we foster upon our poor children.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
Notes of a Dirty Old Man
I could not possibly love one woman, having known the holiness of all women.
DOUGLAS CARLTON ABRAMS

JEAN M. AUEL
The Clan of the Cave Bear
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
JOHN GRAY
Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus
I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.
JOHN STEINBECK
East of Eden
Sadly, "respecting" women just because they fill a narrow role misogyny defines as "respectable" is actually the opposite of respecting women. People who can't or won't respect women simply because women are human beings don't respect women at all.
