Women's Voices: Quotations by Women
Quote collection assembled by Jone Johnson Lewis
Quotation: Writing is trying to know beforehand what one would write if one wrote, which one never knows until afterward.
Quotation: You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable. 
Quotation: Men like women who write. Even though they don't say so. A writer is a foreign country.
Quotation: The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home -- will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children.
Quotation: I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. 
Quotation: Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.
Quotation: No other human being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of real creation.
Quotation: The best way to fill time is to waste it.
