Feminism is not dead, by no means. It has evolved. If you don't like the term, change it, for Goddess' sake. Call it "Aphrodite" or "Venus" or "bimbo" or whatever you want. The name doesn't matter, as long as we understand what it is about, and we support it.

Patti Smith
American Musician
When I was a child, I was certain that I could remember what it was like to live on Venus; I could remember what it was like to live in the American Plains. I could remember. And it's ancient memory. We all have it. It's just that some of us access it more than others.
Quote examples
Michio Kaku
American Physicist
Our grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We'll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We'll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the future.
Quote examples
Neil deGrasse Tyson
American Scientist
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect. I kind of want to know what happened there because we're twirling knobs here on Earth without knowing the consequences of it. Mars once had running water. It's bone dry today. Something bad happened there as well.
Quote examples
Stephen Moore
American Writer
Venus Williams is a multi-millionaire not in spite of the fact that she is a woman, but precisely because she's a woman. She receives much higher pay than an equally skilled man. Isn't that precisely the opposite of what is meant by pay equity?
Quote examples
Serena Williams
American Tennis Player
Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

I think we are all slightly down in the dumps after another loss. We may be in the wrong sign... Venus may be in the wrong juxtaposition with somewhere else.

Americans are from Mars, Europeans are from Venus: they agree on little and understand each other less and less.

Venus hasn't been to the semis for a couple of years in a Grand Slam - she's been coming back from injury.
