Brooke's quotes

Claude Cahun

My opinion about homosexuality and homosexuals is exactly the same as my opinion about heterosexuality and heterosexuals. All depends on individuals and circumstances. I claim a general freedom of behavior.

— Claude Cahun 1925

Little Women

— Jo March, Little Women (the movie)

The Simpsons

When Virginia Woolf said every woman needs a room of her own, she must have been talking about the kitchen.

— Marge Simpson, The Simpsons "All's Fair in Oven War" Episode #1520

We're genetically programmed to go after successful men. All the way back to caveman days, women had to mate with the best hunters, gatherers and providers for the propagation of our species.

— Lisa Johnson, author of "How to Snare a Millionaire"

1953 magazine quote

The smart woman will keep herself feminine. It is her duty to herself to be desirable at all times to the opposite sex.

— Coronet Magazine (1953)
