• In the legends that males have invented to explain life, the first human creature is a man named Adam. Eve arrives later, to give him pleasure and cause trouble. In the paintings that adorn churches, God is an old man with a beard, never an old woman with white hair. And all the heroes are males: from Prometheus who discovered fire to Icarus who tried to fly, on down to Jesus whom they call the Son of God and of the Holy Spirit, almost as though the woman giving birth to him were an incubator or a wetnurse.

  Oriana Fallaci

• And yet, or just for this reason, it's so fascinating to be a woman. It's an adventure that takes such courage, a challenge that's never boring. You'll have so many things to engage you if you're born a woman. To begin with, you'll have to struggle to maintain that if God exists he might even be an old woman with white hair or a beautiful girl. Then you'll have to struggle to explain that it wasn't sin that was born on the day when Eve picked an apple, what was born that day was a splendid virtue called disobedience.

• You don’t seduce in the same way at my age. You seduce with brains, with talent. Yesterday for lunch I met the most incredible 90-year-old woman. She survived Auschwitz, she was beautiful, she didn’t have white hair, she didn’t wear glasses. She was totally seductive. I just thought, Oh, my God, I still have time ahead of me.

• Yo no entendía a Dios como lo hacían los niños que iban a la iglesia. Decían que Dios era un hombre en el cielo con pelo blanco y barba como Papá Noel. Esto me parecía extraño. Cuando pensaba en Dios, sólo imaginaba niebla sobre el estanque, una brizna de luna en un cielo oscuro, estrellas dispersas, el canto de los pájaros.

• Someone could cut through the mess in our house and look at it like one might look at rings on a tree or layers of sediment. They'd find the black-and-white hairs of a dog we had when I was six, the acid-washed jeans my mother once wore, the seven blood-soaked pillowcases from the time I skinned my knee. All our family secrets rest in endless piles.

• Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;
  And spring comes green again to trees and grasses
  Where petals have been shed like tears
  And lonely birds have sung their grief.
  ...After the war-fires of three months,
  One message from home is worth a ton of gold.
  ...I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin
  To hold the hairpins any more.

• From the drawing-room window I see pass almost daily an old gentleman with white hair, a firm step, broad shoulders, healthy pink skin, a sunny smile - always singing to himself as he goes - a happy, rosy-cheeked old fellow, with a rosy-cheeked mind I should like to throw mud at him.

• Kent. ¿Dónde está el rey? Gent. Contendiendo con los elementos inquietos; ordena al viento que sople la tierra hacia el mar, o que hinche las rizadas aguas por encima de la corriente, para que las cosas cambien o cesen; rasga su blanca cabellera, que las impetuosas ráfagas, con rabia sin ojos, atrapan en su furia y no hacen nada con ella; se esfuerza en su pequeño mundo de hombre por dominar el vaivén de los conflictos del viento y la lluvia. Esta noche, en la que el osezno se acurrucaría, el león y el lobo panzudo mantienen su pelaje seco, él corre sin cresta, y pide lo que se llevará todo.

• Heads in the Women's Ward On pillow after pillow lies The wild white hair and staring eyes; Jaws stand open; necks are stretched With every tendon sharply sketched; A bearded mouth talks silently To someone no one else can see. Sixty years ago they smiled At lover, husband, first-born child. Smiles are for youth. For old age come Death's terror and delirium.

  Philip Larkin
