Prostitutes don't sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married.

It's interesting to speculate how it developed that in two of the most anti-feminist institutions, the church and the law court, the men are wearing the dresses.

Freedom is like taking a bath: You got to keep doing it every day.

I think we should look forward to death more than we do. Of course everybody hates to go to bed or miss anything, but dying is really the only chance we'll get to rest.

Here I am a woman attorney being told I can't practice law in slacks by a judge dressed in drag.

The question arises whether all lawyers are the same. This is like asking whether everything that gets into a sewer is garbage.

Don't agonize, organize.

One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

It's always been my philosophy: Turn the page. If something falls through, turn the page. It's over with, get used to it, get on with it. Very simple. It's always worked for me.

I'm not gonna change my way of dance because I lost and the judge tells me I should do it a certain way.

It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.

In America, you assassinate president. In Soviet Russia, president assassinate you!
