What is female person?

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or person:

    When a woman drinks it’s as if an animal were drinking, or a child. Alcoholism is scandalous in a woman, and a female alcoholic is rare, a serious matter. It’s a slur on the divine in our nature.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

    What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens—when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
