On Women

"What, Sir, would the people of the earth be without woman?  They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce." - Mark Twain

"After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her." - Mark Twain, Adam's Diary

"There is no such thing as an ugly woman." - Vincent Van Gogh

"Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace." - Marianne Williamson

"I'd much rather be a woman than a man.  Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships." - Gilda Radner

"The supply of good women far exceeds that of the men who deserve them." - Robert Graves
