That haunts you night and day.

I could not possibly love one woman, having known the holiness of all women.
DOUGLAS CARLTON ABRAMS
The Lost Diary of Don Juan
I think that women as a group are so powerful. I still don't think we are able to embrace our power well enough yet. We think we live in a man's world and we have to follow their rules, and yet, we're so different, and our rules are so different. I wish that we could come together more as a political force. If women ran the world, I don't believe that there would be war. I really don't.... We understand the bigger picture. We understand our impact on the environment, on the world. We understand the generations that will go after us because we gave birth to them.

I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them.
FRANK SINATRA

Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
