I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.

Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on. I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation but I'm working on the foundation.

I myself would like to become more disciplined within my work.
