I love women. I'm trying to do beautiful things with them. I'm not trying to insult them. My life is not about that.

It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a 'good African woman' and as a highly educated elitist who was trying to show innocent African women ways of doing things that were not acceptable to African men.

When you see what some women marry you realize how they must hate to work for a living.

Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women I would not even have to bathe because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them but I find women beautiful.

People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders the memories of so many people.

When the British came to Ibo land for instance at the beginning of the 20th century and defeated the men in pitched battles in different places and set up their administrations the men surrendered. And it was the women who led the first revolt.

To be outspoken or different at all is a problem for women.

It is women who bear the race in bloody agony. Suffering is a kind of horror. Blood is a kind of horror. Women are born with horror in their very bloodstream. It is a biological thing.

I go out with white women. This makes a lot of people unhappy mostly black women.

I have said this many times that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men but not for mediocre women and we really have to work very very hard.

I think women are really good at making friends and not good at networking. Men are good at networking and not necessarily making friends. That's a gross generalization but I think it holds in many ways.

Just as everybody has the vote including women I think children should because as a child is conscious of itself then it has to me an existence and has a stake in what happens.

With women I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.

What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.

I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well at least for a time otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels.

Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds why you are going to do that.
