| Kissinger ble forbauset da jeg visste hvor Ghana ligger. | Black Shirley Temple (1928-) |
| Arbetsfördelningen måste ske efter kunskap och skicklighet, inte efter kön. Visar en kvinna att hon kan styra ett samhälle, så låt henne göra det.

| Jämställdhet kommer kanske att bli en rättighet, men ingen mänsklig makt kan göra den till ett faktum. | Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) |

| Equality of opportunity is freedom, but equality of outcome is repression | Dick Feagler |

| If all were equal, no race would be run | Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) |

| There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison. | C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) |

| Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact | Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) |
| Thus no member of the commonwealth can have a hereditary privilege as against his fellow-subjects; and no-one can hand down to his descendants the privileges attached to the rank he occupies in the commonwealth, nor act as if he were qualified as a ruler by birth and forcibly prevent others from reaching the higher levels of the hierarchy through their own merit. He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the members of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his subordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject. | Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) |
| Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity. | Irving Kristol |

| Kjerring eller kall - den klokeste styrer best. | Timothy Leary (1920-1996) |
| Kvinner som ønsker å bli likestilt med menn, mangler ambisjoner. | Timothy Leary (1920-1996) |
| Menn har også beskyttet kvinner. Menn har underholdt kvinner, forsørget kvinner. Menn har dødd for å forsvare landet for kvinner. Vi må se oss tilbake og erkjenne det menn har gjort for kvinner. | Camille Paglia (1947-) |
| Pippi Langstrømpe har betydd mer for likestillingen i Norge enn all verdens offentlige utredninger. | Åse Kleveland (1949-) |
| Som om kvinnelighet er noe du kan miste, slik som man mister en lommebok - hm, hvor la jeg kvinneligheten min? | Françoise Giroud |
