A princess, an actress, a scientist, a musician and a painter. 5 inspirational badass women and their memorable quotes that make our hearts and wings grow.
Call me
Diana, not Princess Diana.
I want my
boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities,
people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.
I don't want
expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just
want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.
I think the
biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of
people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an
hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I
want to do that.
I like to be
a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.
I was born
with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
The beauty
of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her
heart, the place where love resides.
I love
people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to
laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in
a person.
I'm an
introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long
walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.
Taking care
of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead
of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a
humanization of politics.
There is
more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my
womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or
standing in the rain.
If I'm
honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
A scientist
in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting
natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.
One never
notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
I have
frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile
family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy.
Be less
curious about people and more curious about ideas.
When I was
studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were
intuitive, and I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and
heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist.
There's no
excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or
were.
Greed has
driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here
that I can call home.
You've got to learn to leave the table when love's no longer being served.
Life is short. People are not easy to know. They're not easy to know, so
if you don't tell them how you feel, you're not going to get anywhere, I
feel.
It was always Marx, Lenin, and revolution - real girl's talk.
Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to
abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.
I paint flowers so they will not die.
They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten that I can't stand them
anymore....I [would] rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell
tortillas, than have anything to do with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris.
The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have
ambition and become 'somebody,' and frankly, I don't have the least ambition to
become anybody.
They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams.
I painted my own reality.
You deserve the best, the very best, because you are one of the few people
in this lousy world who are honest to themselves, and that is the only thing
that really counts.
A.B.
Ladies, happy Women's day.
