Eugene Kennedy
American Psychologist
Wherever you find 'men together' - writing the rules, as at exclusive golf or other men's clubs, businesses, and lodges where they wear elaborate robes and funny hats - women are kept completely outside if possible and, when grudgingly admitted, to highly restricted areas or token status.
Quote examples
Miranda Kerr
Australian Model
When I get home, I'm not the boss like I am at work - I slip into a more feminine role. I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe. I'll put on a red lip or red nails, and it lifts my mood. Sexy underwear also gives you a spark.
Quote examples
Neil Gorsuch
American Judge
Practicing in the trial work trenches of the law, I saw, too, that when we judges don our robes, it doesn't make us any smarter, but it does serve as a reminder of what's expected of us: Impartiality and independence, collegiality and courage.
Quote examples
Sonia Rykiel
French Designer
A woman and a dress, very often, fight against each other because they are not at the same place. Sometimes you see the woman moving the belt around. She is making the robe her own. She needs that. Otherwise, the dress doesn't exist.
Quote examples
Janet Malcolm
American Writer

Quote examples
Frank McCourt
Irish Author
I'm always a great student of writers' work habits. Balzac sat at his desk dressed in a monk's robe, and he always had to have a rotten apple on his desk. The smell of the apple inspired him somehow.

Quote examples
Pat Buchanan
American Journalist
When politicians don black robes and seize powers they do not have, they should be called out for what they are - usurpers and petty tyrants.

English Playwright
