The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn’t any.

Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn’t try and be copying men and be masculine; they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.

I’m very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That’s what I always try to do.

Every woman is supposed to have the same set of motives, or else to be a monster.

A state of society where men may not speak their minds cannot long endure.

For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.

The press is the enemy.

Feminism… I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, ‚Free to be You and Me.‘

Whether women are better than men I cannot say – but I can say they are certainly no worse.

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that’s your body.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

I never thought I’d land in pictures with a face like mine.

I’m not a centerfold.

We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.

I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.

I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.

Sexism is real in this country.

Feminists wish women to seem like men. They’re not men.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I’m drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar.

My fat never made me less money.

The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don’t like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don’t expect freedom to survive very long.

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.

I don’t believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like.

I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less.

We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.

You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.

There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

I’ve only written one science-fiction book: ‚Fahrenheit 451.‘ That book is a book based on real facts and my hatred of people who destroy books.

If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.

It may be that the most striking thing about members of my literary generation in retrospect will be that we were allowed to say absolutely anything without fear of punishment.

The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.

In matters of truth the fact that you don’t want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it.

Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?

The masculine spirit is under assault. It’s obvious.

A friend doesn’t go on a diet because you are fat.

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.

People make jokes about my bosoms, why don’t they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It’s obvious I’ve got big ones and if people want to assume they’re not mine, then let them.

In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.

You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man’s form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.

Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life.

Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.

Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.

I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.

I love the women’s movement, and I never thought of it as belonging to any particular segment of the population.
