Women S Issues Quotes

“It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve.”
― Georgia O'Keeffe

“What a rapist takes from a woman is her future. The person she is going to become, who she is supposed to be, is gone.

― Karin Slaughter, The Good Daughter

“I just believe that us as women— should not criticize nor pull down other women. And why? Because we’re all just trying our best to be beautiful! We all just want to be loved, we want to be beautiful, we’re all trying to leave our own legacy! The good news is that the universe is unending and that means there is enough space for each woman on earth to leave her own mark and to be her own legacy. To be her own kind of beautiful. So why spend even a second on trying to take away from another woman? Trying to steal, trying to criticize, trying to oppress? There is enough space for every woman and every kind of beautiful, in this vast cosmos! When you waste any amount of time trying to take what is another’s— you are wasting your huge chunk of a galaxy that’s already been given to you!”
― C. JoyBell C.

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“Conservatives, who have presumed that the key to preventing AIDS is abstinence-only education, and liberals, who have focused on distribution of condoms, should both note that the intervention that has tested most cost-effective in Africa is neither...

― Nicholas D. Kristof

“Sister,
if he
wants to touch
that beautiful and rare diamond
between your legs,
if he
wants to slip into
that honey they swarm around,
always hungry, always go,
then he
will take it however you
give it to him.
And if you want to give it to him hairy,
that's how he's going to fucking take it.

—Stop trying so hard. Find your own beautiful.”
― Vironika Tugaleva

― B.S. Murthy, Benign Flame: Saga of Love

“A las mujeres las consume la enfermedad. No es de extrañar teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de transito interno que soporta una mujer. Tampones y espéculos.

Pepinos, plátanos y botellas, un collar de perlas, un rotulador, un puño”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects
