Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.
I think it's very rare that you see girl friendships on television. It's always cattiness and all that drama.
A woman's pity often opens the door to love.
I used to be scared of women. When I was very young they terrified me, but discovering the female universe was incredible and still is to this day, as you never stop learning about them.
It is strange how little sharpsightedness women possess; they only notice whether they please, then whether they arouse pity, and finally, whether you look for compassion from them. That is all; come to think of it, it may even be enough, generally speaking.
Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
A woman can see a woman so clearly - faluts, excellences, details - all are so clear to her.
Almost all women will give a sympathizing hearing to men who are in love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again with that conversation, and renew their own early times.
Women's mutual understanding comes from the fact that they identify themselves with each other; but for the same reason each is against the others.
I feel for the overly thin women as I do for the overweight women.
As women, I think it helps that we are complex creatures by nature so just being a woman helps to understand a woman's journey.
Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.
Women can be quite intimate emotionally - they're very emotionally available.
The thing that enchants me the most is the ability women have to feel other people's pain. The total empathy that women have is extraordinary.
With women and women, I think there's an understanding. Nobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers, and there are times when we need to be nurtured.
I think only a woman understands another woman's body.
Women read each other at a single glance.
Only a Woman, divine, could know all that a woman can suffer.
Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.
It is a natural virtue incident to our sex to be pitiful of those that are afflicted.
When 'Mardaani' came out, one of the great compliments was that we hated the character but we loved the guy. So that was a great compliment to get, especially from female fans.
A woman only can understand a woman.
I think a lot of the time, the studio system is so compelled to kowtow to its fear that women are not going to be found sympathetic. It just sort of euthanizes any hope of more diverse examples of the emotional realities of people. Representing my gender, I think, "Well, I have those emotions, why don't those ever get brought to the screen so I can feel recognized?"
All my friends are female, I've edited for a magazine for young girls for 15 years, I relate to women, and I'm very, very close to my younger sister.
Baby girls, as young as 12 months old, respond more empathically to the distress of other people, showing greater concern through more sad looks, sympathetic vocalisations and comforting. This echoes what you find in adulthood: more women report frequently sharing the emotional distress of their friends.
