Another life Quote by Salma Hayek
“I don't like the way the Bible views women, this thing about the Virgin Mary conceiving a child without having sex, so if you conceive a child by having sex, there's a subliminal message that there's something dirty about it. And this is what makes us divine. I mean, the possibility of creating another life should remind women that we are creators, that we are made like God in our ability. There is nothing greater than to create another human being.”
