Feminist Quote by Osayi Osar-Emokpae
““The truth is women need men, we are neither superior nor inferior to men. We are better at some things and worse at other things. Mature people take the hard road and choose to delay quick gratification for true love. Mature people realize that the world does not revolve around them, and their desires, but around commitment. Mature people are committed to something beyond themselves; God, good, the good of society, family etc. If men are the source of your problems, then you are doomed to wait for eternity for them to fix it.””

![“Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.” quote by Lauren Bacall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1f0/lauren-bacall-2297_ass_everything-in-this-country-the-us-has-go_314596.jpg)
