“It is indeed a misfortune for a woman to be without beauty, as with men the eye is the chief arbiter of qualities in the sex. Her beauty is her capital--her worth in the market matrimonial depends upon it. With her the Virtues are less reverenced when unaccompanied by the Graces. The sex understand this very well; and hence they seek mainly to make captive the eye, knowing the mind and heart will follow as a matter of course.” MenMindWellsHeartMatterEyeCoursesSexWomenQualityKnowingVirtueGraceDependsChiefsMisfortunesHeart And MindCaptivesHer BeautyArbiter Author:Christian Nestell Bovee

“On the subject of the feminist business, I just never think...of qualities which are specifically feminine or masculine.

Yes and there are the Medium Irksome and the Rare Irksome.” PeopleThinkingTwoSexQualityClassSubjectsRegardFeministMediumsFeminineDividesMasculine Author:Flannery O'Connor
“You're a bore, I said to me. You're puny. You're lacking in quality, like a pair of factory-rejected Fruit of the Loom shorts. And this was without considering any sexual problems, since I've never had sex with anyone except myself.” SaidProblemSexQualityFruitPairsFactoriesBoresRejectedConsideringLackingShorts Author:Paul Zindel
“I want to make movies - and I want to portray characters - that make people think. I want to make movies that have a redemptive message.
