Show me a frigid woman and, nine times out of ten, I'll show you a little man.

Julie Burchill

Personally, I do not believe that it is the duty of any man or woman to write a novel. In nine cases out of ten, there would be greater merit in leaving it unwritten.

Agnes Repplier

It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.

Jane Austen

I like woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is she who she is and figures people can take it or leave it. What I do like is a woman who has the guts to tell exactly as she feels. It's not appealing when a woman dresses to please a man. It's way more attractive if she has her own distinct style and wears what she feels best in.

Justin Timberlake

To ask advice is in nine cases out of ten to tout for flattery.

John Churton Collins

As a woman, I think Margaret Thatcher felt she had to be ten times more prepared than the men.

Phyllida Lloyd

Nora leaves her husband, not-as the stupid critic would have it-because she is tired of her responsibilities or feels the need of woman's rights, but because she has come to know that for eight years she had lived with a stranger and borne him children. Can there be anything more humiliating, more degrading than a life-long proximity between two strangers? No need for the woman to know anything of the man, save his income. As to the knowledge of the woman-what is there to know except that she has a pleasing appearance?

Emma Goldman

After a while the business end of writing takes too much of the writing time. Better to pay someone ten percent and find that you're still more than ten percent ahead in the end. Which is true. My present agent says that he always feels that a good agent during the course of a year should earn back for his client at least the ten percent he takes by way of commission, so the client's really nothing out. And what he should ideally do is make him more money than the ten percent.

Roger Zelazny

I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate.

Jack Canfield

Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.

Calvin Coolidge

Nine out of ten Americans believe that out of ten people, one person will always disagree with the other nine!

Colin Mochrie

If you do the best you can, you will find, nine times out of ten, that you have done as well as or better than anyone else.

William Feather

Show me a frigid women and, nine times out of ten, I'll show you a little man.

Julie Burchill

If some woman tells me how she feels about something, my immediate assumption is that she wants an answer, or that she wants me to solve her problem. In fact, all she wants to do is share, or show how she feels.

Fred Ward

A woman is human. She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. Equality is a given. A woman is human.

Vera Nazarian

I had an amazing mother. She raised nine kids, practically as a single parent, which is the hardest thing in the world. Nine of us! Day in and day out. She had to make sure we all had an education and that we all felt loved.
