Proposition one: time is a man, space is a woman.
All humans are part male and part female. The other side must be explored to gain complete understanding ofourselves and the world we live in. Forme, the idea of having a feminine perspective is a willingness to be vulnerable.
Even the things we are certain about are only an illusion. We are born with a female side and a male side, and these two sides are always fighting and challenging each other. This is why anything we want to do, we have the other side of telling us not to do it, to be careful about it.
Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two.
I think that Shakespeare had his male side and his female side extremely well developed. And this was a great quality of the Elizabethan, all-around Renaissance man. They were not afraid of their male side and their female side co-existing. This somewhere along the line got lost. And then it got misunderstood.
Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
We all have a cross-gender character: Every woman has a man that they can play, and every man has a woman that they can play.
When not dressed as Conchita I am a man, and a lazy one at that.
With the man in the woman, and the woman in the man. In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man.
I think I have a male side about me and you have a female side about you. It's a question of repressing or not.
Masculinity involves feminine qualities, and femininity involves masculine qualities.
There have been hermaphrodites around forever, Cal. Forever. Plato said that the original human being was a hermaphrodite. Did you know that? The original person was two halves, one male, one female. Then these got separated. That's why everybody's always searching for their other half. Except for us. We've got both halves already.
There's something about the Strat's shape that is at once masculine and feminine
